No, it doesn't, because there's still the matter of "pay $X more for the 
source code during alpha and beta". However much you're throwing around 
the words "distribute" and "source" and "contributor", there's a dollar 
amount sitting between binary and source, and that's directly contrary 
to this list's mission.

Good that you're releasing it under GPL after release, sure, but you 
don't need to restrict it during alpha and beta. Just release it under 
GPL. How difficult is that?
