Even utterly proprietary and closed software can benefiting society. And I certainly don't see any problems with availability of sources to study code and conveniently exercise right to modify/adapt under 17 USC 117. It doesn't need a license, it works with all rights reserved. EPL/CPL is also fine (binaries need not be royalty free) as long as one needs binaries in order to execute. Another factor being that it is clear legalese and not moronic Stallmanese (which is only good for your crackpot theories regarding "whole combined works" being derivative works). regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
