As a practical matter, it is extremely difficult to detect this sort
of copyright violation.  Dan's copyright can be effective at achieving 
its aims even if Frank copies a binary package from his machine to a
customer's machine.  What he mostly wants to make sure is that there
is no wholesale distribution of modified versions of his software.
Since he can pick and choose who he sues for copyright violation, he
need only sue the wholesalers, leaving people like Frank (and myself)
free to do what we want.
