Viral permissiveness

[Remco]

So, basically what you want is a copyleft-license that allows
binary-only distribution. You want the source code to be distributed
under the same license, but the binary is considered a different work.
It's like a source-only GPL.

Note that this has absolutely no compatibility advantages to the GPL.
This proposed license is incompatible with everything except itself,
just like the GPL. You're just as arrogant and altruist-abusing (not
my words). I see no real permissive values here, except that companies
can take the code and distribute a binary under another license. Is
that really what you want?

Luckily, that's where revision history comes in.
