The application of known FOSS licenses to what is effectively a binary-only release is misleading and borderline meaningless.

It is an unfortunate recycling of an existing regime that no doubt offends Stallman to his very core, but I wouldn't call it meaningless.

If you're in a company and need a model which one do you think you're getting past compliance & legal - the one that says MIT or the one that says "non-commercial use only"?
