I don't quite see what would stop a company from bundling LS with
commercial content, stating that LS is included as a freebie.
But that's really the funny thing here. Your
software isn't from the
free/open source software communities. It doesn't conform to neither
the free software definition nor the open source definition.
The really funny thing would be the authors going MIA and nobody being
there to give that permission that at least commercial distros might
think is required.
