OK, how?
My preferred method at the moment is to grant or request from copyright
holders the following additional permissions:
* Developers need publish their modifications only (not the whole
application source code with all unusual libraries), as long as it
provides a URL or link back to complete upstream source code repository/ies.
* The running application need not check if the source code is
currently on-line (so long as it is usually and can be requested).
But I doubt Oracle will grant additional permissions, so how can the
issue be mitigated?
