No point in us getting into a debate about what does and does not
constitute "along with the program" as worded in the license.
Neither of us are lawyers.

I believe that having it on our ftpsite, at the root, is suitable
for the various GPL components you will find beneath it and we have
therefore not violated the licence in the past or now.  You appear
to believe multiple copies within the ftpsite are required.  We will
have to agree to disagree.  If you wish to convince me otherwise,
have your lawyer give me a call.
