If this is GPLv2, where is the source code?

Ok, I am not a lawyer so I don't know anything about this license stuff.
I just meant it is free to use and do whatever you want with.
GPLv2 was agreed with our lawyers for the driver source code, so I just
stuck that on the firmware as well (not looking forward to another time
consuming pass through the legal department!).
If GPLv2 implies that you have to provide source code, then what other
license should I use that means freedom, but no source code?
Note that:
a) I actually *lost* the source code (no joke or excuse!)
b) This is for a proprietary in-house micro engine, so while we don't
necessarily mind providing the source code, we don't want to provide
any documentation or assembler for that. As we definitely don't want
to *support* any other people messing with it. Making the source code
effectively useless anyway.

I understand that can be time consuming, but I am not a lawyer and not
going to give you legal advice, sorry. I certainly can't tell you how
to license your own code.

That doesn't sound like you want GPL at all, which is a strong
copyleft license that requires source and allows people to rebuild it.
Support is a different story and not really tied to the license.

Interestingly though, there are other firmwares in WHENCE alledgedly
being GPLv2 without providing sources, even stating "we prefer you not to
ask for the source". So it's certainly not enforced consistently.
(also, GPLv2 wise, you would be OK if you provide it on request only)
In any case, I can modify the license to "Redistributable" with some
copyright attached, that seems to be common practice as well. Since that
is actually more restrictive than GPLv2, it should be OK legally.
