No noun except the altered source, the outcome of the first action?
Compare: if I say "This box: I'll wrap it and post it to you" then I
mean I'm going to post the wrapped box - not that I'm going to wrap
it, then unwrap it again and post just the box!
I've no reason to think the licensor is an evil language-buggerer, so
I feel we should think this meets DFSG. If a licensor tries to claim
that the second pronoun ignores the first action, then we should
remove their package and plead that it was an honest misunderstanding.
Hope that helps,
