Ask HN: Is there an open source license that prohibits binary distribution?
Where would this be useful?
For open source apps on the Play Store, for example. Without something like this, it's very common to see multiple third-party binaries, making it confusing for regular users of the original app.

- andridk 13y agoYou could just trademark the name and forbid its' use on the App store. That way, any 3rd party binary would have to use another name, thus not confusing anyone.
