The Reciprocal Public License (RPL) is a software license inspired by the GNU General Public License (GPL) but authored to explicitly remove what some have referred to as the GPL's "privacy loophole"—an aspect of the GPL which allows recipients of GPL'd code to: 1) make changes to source code which are never released to the open source community (by virtue of not deploying "to a third party"), and 2) to derive financial or other business benefit from that action, violating what some might consider a simple concept of "fairness".
