Alex, is this true?  It was my impression that developers could create 
and use *undistributed* private derivatives (and no-one, including the 
initial developer, can demand them), but once they're "distributed" in 
some form than anyone can demand them equally.

And futhermore, my impression was that 3.3 means the ID can create 
private/proprietary/closed/etc derivatives of any *distributed* 
modification -- thus again, the developers right to make and use private 
modifications without anyone's knowledge or disclosure remains.

Am I misunderstanding this?  Or is Andrew accurately reflecting the 
spirit *and* the letter of the OVPL?
