You have to supply the code used in products that you distribute - hence the whole Tivo issue.
So the argument is - have you distributed the missile to the firers or to the target?
That's what the AGPL sorts out. Is being hit by a missil a 'service'
- ErrantX 14y agoOne additional consideration; does being hit by a missile constitute unsolicited mailing?
- Symmetry 14y agoThis is sort of hilarious, but I'm pretty sure that firing a missile at someone doesn't count as giving them code. Its not your intent that they're able to use the missile for their own purposes, for example.
- excuse-me 14y agoYour intent isn't important - it's the intent of the person licensing the software. I publish my shark+laser beam integration library in the hope that other evil geniuses will use it and improve on it. Together we can produce an opensource shark+laser beam system that is more secure and reliable than the commercial offering. When you are an evil genius you have to worry about these things.
