Couldn't tell you that. Just an impression I got from seeing various things 
over the years. Perhaps a vague memory here of UK folks not being able to 
order books or cds or dvds from amazon US? Or perhaps the otehr way around? 
US folks not being able to buy from amazon uk? If this memory is anywhere 
near accurate, it was not because amazon did not want to take their custom.

What gave you that idea?

The GPL and AGPL already do this. I have no desire to see this happen in the 
cc realm until I can see super clean definitions on what source is in the 
non-code realm. And perhaps not even then in all cases.

I am certainly not pushing for a source code requirement in 4.x.

all the best,
