I'm getting really, really confused.  In this case, the only
indication that a person running the modified program will get is
modified id strings and output banners.  Yet earlier you (or someone
defending the LPPL) claimed that that is insufficient to reduce the
confusion of users.  Is it enough, or isn't it?
