Of course not. No one can be forced to post source code, because
the GPL is voluntary. The SFLC sued for copyright violation. In
all the cases, the defendants or their agents then decide that
they will voluntarily comply with the GPL in order to continue
being able to copy and distribute the code, and then the SFLC
drops the case, the GPL now being satisfied.
