Corresponding Source for a + non-source form of such a combination shall not include the source code + for the parts of those libraries used as well as that of the covered work. + +Why: casting to a television goes through Google's cast sender SDK, which is +not free software and is linked into the application. Without this permission, +nobody but the copyright holders could lawfully distribute the application as +it is built, including from a fork. The permission covers those libraries only; +nothing else in the application is exempt from the AGPL, and anybody who +distributes a modified version may remove it (section 7). |
