Hello all, Apologies if this question has been covered before. I haven't been on this list for many months.
Is anyone aware of a license which permits source access and modifications, patch contributions, but restricts the right to distribute compiled binaries to the sponsoring organization? So if I started project Foo, anyone could download from foo.org, use Foo in their business, modify the code at will, and submit patches (if desired) for consideration by Foo leaders. Anyone could redistribute the "official" source (but *not* modified source). But only Foo, Inc. could redistribute binaries. Have I missed something obvious? The situation I'm contemplating is for a new company, with privately developed software. No patent or third-party issues to worry about, just a desire to protect the application from whole-cloth hijacking by bigger fish. Any comments welcome. Thanks, Ned -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
