Hmm, the annotated Open Source Definition explicitly states "The program
must include source code" -- how did I misinterpret that?
Because you left off the part following: "... and must allow
distribution in source code as well as compiled form". This is entirely
a discussion of distribution in a compiled form.
Aah, 'must' is less restrictive in this context than I expected. When
you combine the two halves the first part might be more accurately
phrased as 'The program must make source code available' rather than
'must include' which I understood to mean 'ship with'.
