I disagree with this strongly. I just feel that it is next to impossible to 
properly express such a "source" requirement in simple language and so have 
to content myself to live without it.

We are in fact much poorer for nat having the source though.

James, please answer this for me. Why do you insist that it is essential to 
allow my works to be used on a platform where only the blessed can put them 
there? (I will by the way, at this point, allow mine on there if the blessed 
will pay for the use of my works.)

In the platform under discussion, any general user is going to have to go to 
one of the blessed to get a copy of the work in the first place. It is these 
guys who have designed a system to limit freedoms, not me.

all the best,

drew
