Distribution (or publication in copyright lingo) is defined as:
"Publication" is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work
to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental,
lease,
or lending. The offering to distribute copies or phonorecords to a group
of persons for purposes of further distribution, public performance, or
public display, constitutes publication. A public performance or display
of a work does not of itself constitute publication.
A source repository is in the category of "public performance or display",
there's no purpose of further distribution. It doesn't constitute
publication.
