Programs with a license on the one hand which demands the right to
study and modify the source code, and on the other hand components that
cannot be easily studied and modified, kind of infringe their own
nominal license.
This is probably a minor problem for the author who owns the copyright
anyway and therefore can choose whatever conditions he likes. But it
could be complicated for projects like Debian who want to redistribute
code but do not own the copyright themselves.
