> E.g. the vendor won't sell [the source] to anyone unless the order size is six figures or greater Note that this is illegal in GPL v2. It contains a clause to prevent exactly that kind of malicious behaviour: > ... for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code ... However, GPL v3 explicitly allows for that practice: > You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
