Please phrase this correctly: binary-_only_ distributions for which sourc=
e=20
code will not be made available because the BSD license allows it.

If someone wants to do Free Software/open-source development, this is no=20
problem at all.  It's only a problem if someone wants the code to go=20
proprietary at some point.

I'm not a GPL zealot.  I just think that if the guy who's writing the cod=
e=20
is giving you the source code, is giving you unlimited use rights,=20
unlimited distribution rights, his only requirement is you have to share=20
the code, too... then the guy who's writing the code ain't doing you=20
nothing but right.
