According to all FOSS licences, the software itself need not be available to be downloadable to public - only to the customer (You can't restrain your customers from distributing it though) But the essence being that all the rights the licences talk about, are that of the paying customer. If that is the case, why cannot one sell software with source along with all the other freedoms given by the licence? What is immoral about it? When you are using the term 'immoral', you mean it is the violation of certain principles/intent of the licence. What violation do you see here? - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya http://blog.sandipb.net _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
