but that won't close the 'ASP loophole' becouse the software the ASP is providing may not have been web enabled in the first place so it wouldn't have the download function.

RMS: The GNU GPL Is Here to Stay (O'ReillyNet) Posted Sep 26, 2005 20:43 UTC (Mon) by dd9jn (subscriber, #4459) [Link] At least it gives fair competition back to the developers who decided to release the software with such an ASP source retrieval command. As it stands now it is pretty easy to grab some high value software, write a simple frontend and marginalise the orginal version - using the advantage of having a way to hide the actual software.
Well, this is actually not only an ASP problem but extends to many applicance vendors.
