| Jul 8, 2015 at 6:00 | comment | added | Andrew Russell | Could you please tell us your motive for doing this? Is it to licence the closed source for lots of money? (You would be better served to try a closed plugin approach or dual licencing approach). | |

Line 36 in isolation might not even be copyrightable, let alone possible to make closed. For instance, you can't copyright i++;
