Quote from earlier post:

"Recently, one of the developers advised me that I should provide the
source as this was a requirement of the Rockbox GPL licence. As I had
further developed my version for my own use I didn't have the source of
the version on the wiki page anymore. To put things right I have
provided new downloads plus the source as required."

The developer concerned was Linus.

All these attempts to justify your actions are totally unnecessary.
