Yup. One of the GPL avoidance techniques I've seen is to distribute |
| 13 |
software to a customer whilst making it clear that if they ask for the |
| 14 |
source they will lose support and updates. The idea of enforcing |
| 15 |
redistribution in stronger terms than the GPL isn't new - the Affero |
| 16 |
GPL uses similar terms to extend the GPL for network services. |
