Because, as long as the source is distributed, nothing else need be done.
Guess what, this is exactly like the GPL! Only not the GPL.
If you read the fourth clause, it requires, like the GPL, that the entire
program's source be included, although it is much more ambiguous than the
GPL,
and that may be Kirk's intent.

You can. Go ahead. No problem. You can even put it on a CD-ROM. No sweat=
=2E
But if someone wants to make a product that does not give source code to the
customer, they need a license from Kirk.
Of course, if you do include it in the default system, I'll assume that's a
sign that GPL'd code can also be included in the default system.
