In some discussion of GPL, ACT, etc, last year, here's what Robert Dewar
explained about this last year, according to deja news:
-----------------------------------Excerpt follows --------------------
Note that people's willingness to abide by the informal ?do not
distribute? rules is based on their perception that the request is
reasonable, and is indeed based on a concern to avoid premature
distribution. If they felt that the request was based on a desire
to hoard software that was in fact ready for wide distribution, they
would not concur, and the redistribution would occur.
There is a huge philosophical difference between seeing distribution
restricted because a group of people agree that it is not a good idea
for the good of the project involved to distribute software prematurely,
and a situation in which distributable software is being hoarded.
