DFSG #4 was specifically written explicitly to accomodate a situation 
where the user would potentially lose the right to support if he 
modified the program. ABISource's intent was to support their official 
version only. Now, you can always go back to the official version when 
you need support. But if you are going to modify the program, it only 
seems fair that you should take on the support burden for your modification.
