You mean i have to rebuild these packages on every machine? That's quite
stupid? I understand the logic behind "you can't distribute (ie: make
public) modified binary packages", but what you are saying is "you can't
transfer and install binary packages to machines that aren't your own,
even if you are the only admin on them".

Now what if I leased my own servers instead of buying them? Technicly,
the leasing company owns my servers untill they are fully paid for. Does
that mean I can't install a binary package on them as well?
