AFL - non-sublicenseable versus distributable

[Rick Moen]

Quoting dlw (danw6144 at insightbb.com):

> A non-exclusive licensee *cannot* sublicense a copyrighted work.
> This is the old "doctrine of indivisibility".  See Nike v. Gardner above.
> This is one reason *nonexclusive* license schemes like the GPL are invalid.

It suffices to note a faulty premise:  Use of copyright licences doesn't
appear to entail sublicensing.

(Mr. Wallace appears to crank these things out, on average, about every
2-3 months, I notice.  One wonders what that cycle correlates with.)
