Now this is interesting: Someone is making the point that because affected versions of xz-utils are GPL-licensed, the malware author and the xz-utils project are both legally required to provide the full source code for the malware (which was distributed only in obfuscated binary form) - github.com/tukaani-project/.github/issues/2

EDIT Broke dead link as both that issue and the account that posted it appear to have been deleted.
