I see now that they claim their installer is the only non-commericial
thing. This seems like something you can just strip from their tarball.
In addition, from the GPL2/3:

| The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
| making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code
| means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
| associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
| compilation and installation of the executable. [...]
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^


Cheery-bye,
  Paul
