[...] > I would like to hear your opinion on this case [...] A few considerations: * metaphors may be useful to discuss an issue, but only focusing on the metaphor may be very misleading, since almost no metaphor is a perfect analogy: I think you'd better present your actual case, rather than a metaphor * I personally think that the GNU AfferoGPL v3 fails to meet the DFSG (see my own analysis [1]), despite the opposite opinion of FTP Masters (see their response [2] and my own counter-response [3]): as a consequence, you'll probably fail to convince me that _another_ restriction may be added to the GNU AfferoGPL v3 without harm (I already consider the license problematic as it is, let alone after the addition of further restrictions!)
