I'm contemptuous of the feckless trust that unenforceable legalese can
win over human nature. It already sounds ridiculous for Coca Cola and
Kentucky Fried Chicken to publish their secret recipes permitting the
public to recreate them at home but not repackage and resell. And
that's for a food product whose provenance is easy to trace, what with
the issues of scalability, storage, transportation, government
inspection, etc. Dissemination of software is frictionless and hard to
trace.
