   That's a near certain way to ensure no-one will check your "sources".

   Surely the error in your opinion concerning app stores is that you do precisely that?

   That's precious, Bradley.

   It's a "source" but not a "reference". If you can't search or scan it, you can't refer to it...

   "Edge" as in "leading edge". It will increasingly be the norm. If we decide to abdicate responsibility we abandon software freedom there...

   I don't think that's right. That would be leveraging the retailer's contractual relationship with the customer, not creating a derived work.

   "Source" in this context as in "historical source". The Rosetta Stone is a "source" in that sense too. Still needs a transcription :-)

   I was not claiming that, just asking questions. You're the one claiming certainty & telling me to look in a rambling podcast for proof :-)

    Appeal to Wikipedia rules is definitely an act of desperation :-)

    Because I have a life too; you're not the only saint :-)

    The iOS case is just an edge case of a larger principle. Preventing open source being distributed on closed platforms creates a ghetto.

    So a bookstore putting a (copyrighted) book in a paper bag with text on it would be a copyright infringement?

    I don't have time to do transcription on stuff you don't consider important enough to write up. If it can't be searched it's not a source.

    BTW, your repeated comment about "doing my research" when I ask you to support your assertions seems odd.

    My doubt is that copyright applies to packaging. The GPL has to apply before it can be infringed.

    I have yet to see an informed but non-partisan account of the issue. Let me know if you find one!

    Maybe, although many have embarked on an open source future because they first used open source on a closed platform.

    If that was the only motivation I would agree. But I believe the motivation to be more visceral.

    I believe the issue to be one of opinion about whether post-build packaging creates a derivative. In LGPL it seems clearer that doesn't.
