It can be done. (We - our company - did nearly this exact thing and protected our commercial interests in our source). I posted this in part elsewhere ... """ Most 'successfull' organizations require membership in good standing in order to compete in sancioned events. The key is the phrase 'good standing'. Software held in legal escrow, accessible only under certain legally defined conditions and viewable only by specific individuals under specific circumstances (the presence of the author for example and only after the viewers signing non-disclosure and non-competition agreements) could define a part of 'good standing'. """ We did this in order to assuage the concerns of a major client that in the event of the demise of our company the client would be able to continue with our software and thus avoid harm. (And in some cases have earlier access by specific individuals for other purposes; modification and customization etc). This can be done legally without the need to resort to either risk or trust. (Two unwanted conditions in business unfortunately).
