Distribution of source code. One of the problems with most commercial code is that you can't fix bugs or customize it since the source code is not available. Also, the company may decide to stop supporting the hardware you use. Many free licenses force the distribution of the source code. This protects the user by allowing them to customize the software for their needs."
I see what you mean now, thanks for clarification! IMO, commercial
code is simply code of commercial software. Free code and proprietary
code can be defined similarly as well. I am showing an counter example
that RHEL is "made up" of commercial code but is free software at the
same time. Does this answer your question?
Cheers,
Alex
