|
of the Software. These items, when distributed, are subject to the
|
|
following requirements:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>a. You must ensure that all recipients of machine-executable forms
|
|
of these items are also able to receive and use the complete
|
|
machine-readable source code to the items without any charge beyond
|

the costs of data transfer.</p>
|
|
<p>b. You must explicitly license all recipients of your items to use
|
|
and re-distribute original and modified versions of the items in both

to do so without any charges whatsoever, and they must be able to
|
|
re-distribute to anyone they choose.</p>
|
