I'm thinking this is acceptable I think this is the only really problematic clause (other clauses are not recommendable, but acceptable nonetheless under DFSG#4...). It could be interpreted in a strict way as forbidding anonymous (redistributed) modifications. I think that anonymous modifications should be allowed. Moreover it seems to force redistributors of modified versions to provide some form of support, which sounds like a fee. Adding something along the lines of | | or state that your modified version is unsupported | should suffice to fix the license, I think. -- But it is also tradition that times *must* and always do change, my friend. -- from _Coming to America_ .....................................................
