Good point. However, if I am able to talk upstream into adding a
clause such as:
* You are permitted to modify the game as you like, and also distribute
such versions under the same license as the original work, if they are
clearly marked as being modified versions.
..would that be okay? (Suggestions on how to better phrase this
clause are welcomed.)
