Formally, this is not correct, as it seems - the LPPL 1.3 only allows
modification of the Work, not of the Compiled Work. This is, however,
not a real restriction, because you can always say "I have reverted the
change in the sources afterwards".
Still, this restriction does not make any sense for a configuration
file.
