The trick here is that distribution often looks like selling.
Do you *want* to prohibit distributors from putting your stuff
on a CD with a Linux or FreeBSD distribution?  That distribution
is "sold" even though the stuff on it is available elsewhere.

Or is what you want to prevent people from making and selling
*closed-source* software derived from your package?

Or something else?
