Without expressing a preference for either way, I would prefere A to
be spelled as:
|   The license of a Debian component may not restrict
|   any party from selling or giving away the software
| + alone or
|   as a component of an aggregate software distribution
|   containing programs from several different sources.
|   The license may not require a royalty or other fee
|   for such sale.

This has the benefit to make it clearer that it's necessary to allow
_both_ ways.


Cheers,
