[License-discuss] 3-clause BSD and reverse engineering

[Ben Cotton]

I'm curious as to the intent of this clause. If you're distributing the
software binary-only and not making source code available, then it's not
open source regardless of whether that clause is included. If you are
providing source code, then what is the clause intended to prevent (i.e.
why would anyone reverse engineer the binaries of they already have the
source)?
