I don't agree, but I don't want to discuss that level of detail yet.

Considering the AT&T license, is this even an option?  The actual
license text is impenetrable for me, but here are some excerpts
from <URL:http://www.research.att.com/~gsf/download/faq.license.html>:

...
| 5. Can I modify the source and distribute it to someone else?
|
|    Yes, but you need to package the modifications separately, usually as a
|    patch file.
...
| 7. Can I give the original source package to someone else?             
|
|    You can, provided that the person you give it to has agreed to the 
|    license. The person does not have to physically sign the license, but
|    they must affirmatively agree to the same license agreement. We have
|    enclosed this agreement with the package.
...

There is also a termination clause.
