My personal beliefs do not have any bearing on actions I takew
with my secretaries hat on, to the best of my ability to do so.
I do believe that "The license must allof for modifications"
does mean that any modification of the work must be
permissible -- not just modifying whatever the author gives you
permission to modify.
(Extreme exampls: You can not modify this work, apart from the
last period. You can modify that to whatever you want -- does not
meet the DFSG, even though it allows you to modify the last byte of
the work.)
