This is phrased very oddly. I think the intent is for this to apply to derived works, where "you" becomes "licensor" and the downstream recipient becomes "you". I don't think it's non-free, just hard to follow. > 5) External Deployment.

Whee! I haven't changed my mind since the Affero discussion. I personally think it's a non-free use restriction to declare that "deliver content to anyone other than You" is equivalent to distribution of the software. -- Mark Rafn [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.dagon.net/>
