Your right to throw a punch ends at the tip of my nose. ;) Equally, your right to see what I have done in software ends at the object code being distributed, unless further granted by licensing. Further for example, you dont' get the formatting and layout codes for a book you buy, and you also don't expect to be given them if you ask a publisher. They are required to make the book, but you are not having any rights being obstructed by not having them. You are fully free to work out how to do the formatting on your own, but your rights also stop at the copyright of the author, and even the copyright of the font creator and layout designs.

But in selling only binaries instead of the program code, you are *obstructing* their right to make modifications. Providing source code is not assistance, but lack of obstruction. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug@kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
