    yes, and it is probably ill-advised to put too much of THE SOURCE
    out in public, since it is subject to licence.   diffs sometimes
    ..

Use the source Luke.  Specifically, nominate a particular fragment of
the original source (shared by all legal players) as a key to encrypt
and decrypt pieces of newer source.  Such encrypted newer source could
be posted or made available for anon ftp.  The efficacy of this scheme
would degrade over time as fragments of the original source `escaped',
but this might be secure enough to keep the lawyers happy.
