Access to the source code isn't a right. Quite the opposite: denying
access to the source code for a limited term is a right guaranteed by
the Constitution and the Copyright Act of 1976. Under US law, you have
no rights or freedoms to my works aside from those that I grant to you
and those stipulated under the fair use clauses of the Constitution and
the Copyright Act.

Is a freedom to deny other's freedom really a freedom? Yes it is.
