A license is allowed to prevent distribution of modified versions under the same "conditions", but *not* allowed to prevent distribution of modified versions under the same "license"? What conditions exist that are not imposed by the license, or by applicable law? Moreover, what good is served by splitting such a hair when interpreting DFSG 3 is such a hair-splitting manner? Users may inadvertently violate the <X> on a piece of software that takes advantage of this "distinction", where <X> is not "license", but "conditions", whatever those mean. -- G.
