I agree completely with Steve Dyer: just because something is in binary
form is no reason not to post it.  Of course, we'd prefer you post source
if that's possible.  Placing a binary into the public domain is kind of
silly because the users are dependent upon the author for support, and
the author isn't going to appreciate lots of requests for support.  But
if the binary is all you have, and the author doesn't mind, or the compiler
is hard to come by, there's nothing wrong with posting the binary.

I do caution you that only things that are of overall benefit to the net
should be posted.  If it's pretty obscure but very small, no problem.
But I'd hate to see someone post the entire list of bets placed in last
week's Ohio Lotto, which is both huge and of limited use.
