I guess its not a very big deal, but that doesn't seem to go too well
with my copyright of code I write. I don't want to make trouble, but I
am curious about this...

From the Yaroze License Agreement:

3.8 (You shall not) Disseminate, distribute, publish, sell or license
Your or any Member's PlayStation Format Software without the advance
written consent of SCEA.  You may, however, post PlayStation Format
Software on the Yaroze Server.

1.10	"PlayStation Format Software" means the executable files created
from the Memberís PlayStation Format Source Code.

While I'm certainly not a copyright lawyer I read this as saying I can't
distribute binaries (or any Sony source code), but I CAN distribute
source code to which I hold the copyright.

Again, I'm not trying to be a smart-alec, I'm just curious about the
rules (I'd rather be able to post source on my external web page.)
