	To be clear, all these distinctions mean that since JIAX was released
under GPL, applets derived from it are also under GPL if they're
embedded in a public webpage (not a private intranet accessible by only
members of the org that derived the new applet). So, according to the
GPL, the new applet's source code must be published with the same
distribution scope as the executable applet's distribution scope (eg.
the public Internet).

	The point of the GPL is that people who execute the software have the
right to read (and revise, and further distribute under those same terms
and obligations) the source code. With the sole exception being SW
received under the GPL which is not distributed to users (or anyone
else) outside the org that received it (and its source code, FWIW).
