This is less onerous than clause 3.2 of the MPL, but might be annoying since
"externally deploy" includes providing a service to clients, as defined in
1.4(b) above. For example if someone hosted a modified version of the APSL'd
Darwin Streaming Server [1], would he have to provide every client with source
or keep the source online for a year?
