It seems that QPL#3 is intended to apply to modifications of the source,
and QPL#6 is intended to apply to programs that link against QPL works.
It seems to say "if you distribute your own program that links against
my QPL'd library, you have to give me a copy of your program on demand".
It feels like I'm misreading the license, but I can't figure out how.
