Earlier on "the Work" is defined to be the source code I believe.
No. "- The Work: the Original Work and/or its Derivative Works." "- The Source Code: the human-readable form of the Work which is the most convenient for people to study and modify."
I had understood that to mean that if your EUPL code is used as a library in a bigger project, no obligations to distribute source land on the licensee, but if they distribute a modified copy of your library as a standalone thing, then they can't supply prebuilt DLLs without source code.
That's not how I read it.
But that requirement, now you make me think about it, does violate the Boost licence which does allow people to derive from Boost and publish binaries without source.
We also allow binary distribution without attribution.
