Really? This doesn't sound kosher to me at all. Am I the only OS  
proponent that thinks this is BS?

2. Source Code
The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in  
source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is  
not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized  
means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable  
reproduction cost preferably, downloading via the Internet without  
charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a  
programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source  
code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a  
preprocessor or translator are not allowed.

Maybe somebody in the Condor team could chime in, but it sounds to me  
like they're in breach of their own license.
