Can be useful in some embedded case. In my embedded case the only reason I can tell the client that he does not have to worry about crazy virus licences is cause he's not distributing binaries to other peolpe, they all remain under his control. The debate will rage on once more. The people that thought they where licensing their code under BSD will mewl ineffectively about their rights being taken away. The GPL people will smugly and effectively say "ner ner ner, nothing you can do about it now". In the end the debate will be as ineffective as the BSD licence, the only likely result might be the loss of some developers. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
