No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
So what? The GTP case demonstrates that rights holders may establish
limits through clearly expressed licenses. That the limits there are
scope-of-use and the GPL's are source-with-distribution doesn't mean
that the general principle is different.
Licensee's obligation to provide distributees with access to source code has
nothing to do with scope-of-use limitations and conditions precedent. Such
provision creates contractual right entitling distributees to have access to
source code. Breaching that provision (denying that contractual right)
doesn't infringe licensor's exclusive rights under the copyright law.

be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards
too, whereas GNU cannot.)
