"That argument simply doesn't hold water. Covenants to offer source
code in this and such a way are not "scope of license", they're
return consideration. The GPL is a true offer of bilateral contract.
And yes, I've read lots of unfounded assertions from the FSF and
others on the subject, and this and other arguments have been made
with a reasonable degree of skill on debian-legal, and I see no
reason to repeat them on d-d."
