"The linux binaries have only existed a few months, and I've got requests to add a "make install" option to the makefile for a couple of years, so that it would be easier to package. And I've refused to to it for the same reasons as above. So this has got very little to do with "selling builds".

Of course, I can't deny anyone to make custom radium packages, but I hope they won't. It's simpler and safer if everyone uses the official package, which I also know is packaged (fairly) properly."
