Re: License Wave

Yes, licensing is becoming too complex.

Can the person serving client A be put into a binding legal agreement 
where the person is only allowed to distribute to A and still keep GNU 
GPL?  Thus, the person making the code for A is not allowed to sell the 
code to B.  I would think so.
