I missed the "with or without modification" in the header, so thought this
clause was the only thing granting permission for derived works. Had that
been the case, DFSG 3 would be the controlling consideration and fail.
But the permission for derivate works doesn't derive only from this
clause, so I was wrong. However, I AM going to point out that Bushnell's
idea of "added constraint" for the Diablo license could concievably
apply to this clause, and since there's no real division between
acceptable added constraint and unacceptable added constraint, could be
read to void DFSG 4
