How is saying "you haven't distributed my source code, I'll sell you the next version too, if you want" imposing a further restriction on anyone?
- tremon 3y agoFrom GPLv2, section 6: > Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. I'd say that refusing to do further business counts as a retaliatory restriction against the recipients' exercise of their rights. In general the law finds against retaliatory business practices.
