Josh,

Thanks again.

I don't mean to baffle.  Ideally, the license
terms would explain themselves.  But that's in
great tension with keeping things short, BSD
style.  I'll end up explaining what this condition
does, one way or another.  So I appreciate your
feedback on the challenge I have ahead of me.

The role of the agent under L0-R is to vend
licenses that allow what the public license
prohibits.  A company dual licensing software may
publish source under the terms of GPL or AGPL, but
offer licenses without copyleft requirements for a
fee.  If the company delegates the job of vending
those licenses to another, that "other" acts as
the company's "agent".
