Hi,
I am not sure I understand this storm in a tea cup. Sachinkeeps striking down a strawman; defending the right of the creator of a work to license said work under whatever license floats their boat. There is no dispute there; international agreements on copyrights (look up the Bern agreement) have made it so.
So people can write code, and not distribute the result --traditional software creators have done this for decades, so where's the beef?
Sachin wants to modify a FOSS license to suit his thinking. He will have to choose a non-FOSS license that suits him. Its like a club. You like it, you join it. If you like another club, join that club. You cannot take the rules of one club and impose them on another.
Regards,
Rony.
