Uh, citation needed. "Giving you all grants you need to change anything
in the source" is practically the definition of an open-source licence,
with the exception of removing the original copyright and licence
notices.
What changes have been made that are supposedly illegal? (Note that
introducing new bugs is, sadly, not illegal anywhere that I know of. If
it were, Microsoft would've been out of business years ago, along with
probably everybody else. ;) )
