Maybe they want to store it in a compressed form

Making the code available for you or your collaborators is distributing it. How else would they do this?

Why not just email them with your concerns, if you actually really have some, and aren't just playing to the peanut gallery for karma.

Luckily, my account is with GitHub, not with BitBucket.
