Mitchell, A possibly naive question: The text you submitted is a _broad_ definition that is in common use. Is there a similar _narrow_ definition as well?
I don't see that this text would be the right way for a quid-pro-quo license to define the legal entity in which distribution doesn't happen, because that entity would include beta-testers under contract, would it not? Maybe even _users_ under contract or NDA? On the other hand, there are applications in a quid-pro-quo license _would_ use this definition, "Your Licensed Patents" comes to mind.
