Would it be acceptable for a free software licence to require that the web browsers or word processors on my laptop always have a "download source" control which always works for the user? That would certainly stop me letting people borrow my browser for a few minutes on the train to check their connections... "wait a mo, you're legally required to let it burn me a source CD".
