This is not correct. I knew the Apache license was more strict than
(and therefore incompatible with) GPL-2, but that was the patent
retalliation clause. I read the license now, and it doesn't require
distributors to offer their source code, so I don't think there's any
way he can legally be forced to not do this.
Thanks,
Bas
