Actually, sadly, he almost convinced me. Indeed, imagine a market where you
can sell your software to 100 installation, for a price of $100,000 each
(just making numbers up). That's all great, but how do you get more income
after that? Most companies like to get more money from improvements and
upgrades.
Aside from all the usual arguments about whether it's right to REQUIRE
income after that, whether the company deserves said income or not,
there is a more fundamental difference.
Having the source does not mean open source. The very fact that the
program is an expect tcl script, and therefor readable to the client,
does not imply that the client is at liberty to change it and do with it
as they please.
In other words, what Nzer is looking for is a way to technically prevent
the clients from doing what they LEGALLY are not allowed to do anyways.
