I would like to know is there a way in Fedora to ship only binaries of a free/open source software.
This seems rather contrary to the entire purpose of open source.
Upstream releases the sources under a free/open source software license, but, would like one to register (for free) at their website before downloading the source. They want to be able to track who downloaded the sources.
You should ask on fedora-legal, but I think you will be told that if they are requiring that then it's not actually freely licensed.
