I can't see how they can restrict what users do with the unmodified |
| 14 |
sources once somebody has already distributed it. You don't need a |
| 15 |
license to modify source code - only to distribute source code. We're |
| 16 |
distributing unmodified sources, so we have a license. |

That's basically the rationale for not going the iceweasel route on |
| 19 |
another popular package... |
