I should expand on this: For the example we're talking about, the license terms allow distribution of modified versions in exactly the same manner as distribution of unmodified versions. There is a requirement about what is done when those modification is made (you should send the mods to the author), but that's pretty easily dealt with (it's a "should" which means that if it ever did go to court, the court is likely to accept just about anything on this clause). A paranoid person might want to record the smtp session used to send the email. [I'm attaching a trivial program for this purpose, to show you what I mean.] However, there's nothing in the license to imply that this paranoia is necessary. -- Raul
