In addition to the patent termination, I don't thinkt this is a free condition: | 3.2. Availability of Source Code. | Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be | made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License | either on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted | Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an | Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic | Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve | (12) months after the date it initially became available, or at | least six (6) months after a subsequent version of that particular | Modification has been made available to such recipients. You are | responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version remains | available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is | maintained by a third party. And regardless of freedom, Debian's mirror network cannot comply with this condition, so it would seem that it cannot even go into non-free, unless absolutely no upstream changes are necessary (in which case security updates would still be impossible). -- Henning Makholm "What has it got in its pocketses?"
