Complete text of the license is given below. The summary says the modifications should be sent to the Initial Developer (which isn't free), however nothing in the license itself says that. I think a statement acknowledging that this summary isn't binding would be a good thing to obtain. > * If you distribute or sublicense the Software (as modified by You > or on Your behalf as the case may be), You cause such Software to be > licensed as a whole, at no charge, to all third parties, under the terms > and conditions of the License, making in particular available to all > third parties the source code of the Software; No right to sell.

The indemnification clause looks scary. However it is only here to "retaliate" against false claims, so this is reasonable. I don't know about corner cases, though. -- .''`.
