Re: Darwin Streaming Server
I'm confused.
We have
case a) you don't have to redistribute your changes
this is considered DFSG free
case b) you have to always redistribute your changes
this is considered DFSG free
so a license that is DFSG free to everybody, just different amounts of
DFSG free to different people is considered non-free?
that doesn't make sense
