at all (which is not considered open source, because it does not grant
users rights to modify and redistribute the code), or they may publish
a binary-only demo version or versions. Although these scenarios involve
an intent to publish something as open source in the future, they are
also rather different from the cases we focus on here, for example
with regard to whether the delay is \emph{desired} by the authors,
whether it's \emph{predictable} to users, and whether it's expected to
\emph{recur}.
