Should this say "distribute modified copies"?

Should this be:

         b) Accompany the distribution with the machine-readable
            source of the Ada library with your modifications.

         c) Accompany any non-standard executables with their
            corresponding Standard Version executables, giving the
            non-standard executables non-standard names, and
            clearly documenting the differences in manual pages (or
            equivalent), together with instructions on where to get
            the Standard Version.

I'm curious.  This license seems to have other restrictions over the
GPL.  For example, selling the library itself is forbidden, and the
written offer for source allowed by the GPL isn't allowed by this
license (= forbidden).

Aren't these also incompatibilities?
