Policing the Open Source Version?

As far as I recall when somebody uses Open Source material they have to 
release
accessible material that involves there code along with the rest of 
their work.

This seems to mean that if someone makes a standalone with Livecode OS
they will have to provide a link to the 'bare' stack (i.e. the stack 
from which they
made their standalone) to anyone who begs/borrows/steals/gets given their
standalone.

However, what if "naughty Fred" makes a standalone, releases it, but 
does NOT
provide access to the bare stack?

1. Who is going to check on this sort of thing?

2. Is a Livecode OS standalone going to be constructed in such a way that it
can be "unpeeled" without having recourse to a bare stack?

Richmond.
