Joe,Not seeing the word "distribute" in the license, I would agree this needs to be clarified. There's an interesting mix of copyright terms ("copy", "derivative works"), patent terms ("use", "make"), and even an attribution requirement that is typically associated with distribution. However, without a word like "distribute" (or even "communicate"), I agree we should get some clarification on this.
There's a memo on the IETF site that may clarify some things here... http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/RSA-MD-all I'm not sure if this helps us or not, it says that derivative works can be sold, but doesn't seem to explicitly say if they can be distributed. Wouldn't "sold" imply distribution though? If someone with more of a clue in this matter could take a look and see if that memo resolves things, or if we need to do some more leg work to be sure that would be great. Thanks, -garrett
