The latter.  The softupdates code was released under BSD license after
Kirk had gotten his ROI.  Before that, it had a license which included
the following text:

    Redistributions in any form must be accompanied by information
    on how to obtain complete source code for any accompanying
    software that uses the this software. This source code must
    either be included in the distribution or be available for
    no more than the cost of distribution plus a nominal fee,
    and must be freely redistributable under reasonable
    conditions. For an executable file, complete source code
    means the source code for all modules it contains. It does
    not mean source code for modules or files that typically
    accompany the operating system on which the executable file
    runs, e.g., standard library modules or system header files.

Basically the GPL without the viral bit.
