        I’ve seen them. I understand them. I’m correct.

They are very much pushing against the spirit of FOSS licenses but there is no potential for some Joe on the street to get sued for looking at their source code.

              But how would that Joe look at the source code if it not publicly available and he’s not a paying customer?
