You seem to have left out the text which is common to these three
sections.
This text says "...and copy and distribute such modifications or work
under the terms of Section 1 above..."
Section 1 says "...provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice..."
The only basis I can see for saying that this doesn't require modified
copies be licensed appropriately involves a definition of "and" which
is peculiar to digital logic (as opposed to law or common english).
