Hi: Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'd like to understand better. Proprietary copyright has always protected the distribution channel. In a world of digital copies on an internet, it's unclear what distribution channel needs protecting, BUT a product solution licensed can protect a business. By product solution, I don't mean the software per se, but the exchange of money and expectations that defines a product. (I think CentOS is a reasonable example that it's not about the software alone.) Would you please give me an example of what you're thinking wrt "limiting support to initial creation?" Thanks.
