This interpretation is even worse.
I think it is clearly unacceptable for a "free" license to forbid
people from making personal changes to the software without telling
anybody at all about them.
As I pointed out earlier, there might be situatione in which someone
need something done which is *almost* the same thing which he can get
his Debian system to do, but needs some small modifications which,
by their nature, would reveal business secrets if he told other people
about them. He should be allowed to make his modifications and keep
the modified system secret.
