About your separation of source and binary -- is the idea to not require "corresponding source" for a distributed binary, and to only have the copyleft principles apply to the distribution of source code? Sounds interesting to me if you can get a lawyer on board and figure out a legally enforceable way to do it. I suspect it won't be trivial. The separation of source rights from binary rights is a pretty common thing in the proprietary world. I.e., license to source, but internal only, under NDA, right to modify but not distribute; license to binary includes right to distribute, although often with restrictions and/or payment of royalties or fees. So a decent lawyer, with some software license agreement experience, would find the exercise perhaps not trivial but not exactly insurmountable.
