Well, good question. I suppose the license technically means I can
demand the source to the validation module. I don't like the chances
of getting it without a court case though.

Good question.
In the case of the validation code, they're in the sticky situation
where they want to hide the algorithm, but don't want to force validation
to be done centrally. I think central validation is the correct answer
myself, but there are some nice things about the current situation.
