Why does it have to be arms-length? Where is the subterfuge? A software developer is perfectly free to enter an arrangement whereby he agrees *not* to distribute software. If the software is GPLed, he cannot require recipients not to distribute, but he is free to choose not to distribute his own software, and to accept payment for doing so. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
