Boxee[1] is a piece of software based on XBMC[2] which is realeased under the GPL. The only way to receive the source for Boxee is to take part in a private alpha test which is by invite only. The code they distribute to these selected people is not under the GPL. They claim to be able to do this as it is not “public distribution”. I would have assumed that they are not obliged to release their code publicly if they are not distributing it publicly, but they would need to release it under the GPL to those within their organisation who it is distributed to. Am I correct? This is also being discussed in the Boxee forums[3].
