How is that different from the GPL-2 which mandates three years of distribution for non-personal distribution. I have the impression that you are applying double-standards here. Any commercial product using GPL-2 must share the source code publicly, the same applies to the APSL-1.2. There is no difference. Adrian -- .''`.
