    You think you are talking to a very different person than you actually are.

    Not making their sources generally available for download is NOT the same as closed source. The only ones subject to their new licensing agreements are their paying customers. They are very much pushing against the spirit of FOSS licenses but there is no potential for some Joe on the street to get sued for looking at their source code.

      but there is no potential for some Joe on the street to get sued for looking at their source code.

      But how would that Joe look at the source code if it not publicly available and he’s not a paying customer?
