+
+2. You may copy and distribute the Software in unmodified form provided
+   that the entire package, including - but not restricted to - copyright,
+   trademark notices and disclaimers, as released by the initial developer

+     a. Modifications must not alter or remove any copyright notices in
+        the Software.
+
+     b. When modifications to the Software are released under this
+        license, a non-exclusive royalty-free right is granted to the
+        initial developer of the Software to distribute your modification
+        in future versions of the Software provided such versions remain
+        available under these terms in addition to any other license(s) of

+        are also able to receive the complete machine-readable source code
+        to the distributed Software, including all modifications, without
+        any charge beyond the costs of data transfer, and place prominent
+        notices in the distribution explaining this.
+
+     c. You must ensure that all modifications included in the
+        machine-executable forms are available under the terms of this

+        machine-readable source code to the items without any charge
+        beyond the costs of data transfer.
+
+     b. You must explicitly license all recipients of your items to use
+        and re-distribute original and modified versions of the items in
+        both machine-executable and source code forms. The recipients must
+        be able to do so without any charges whatsoever, and they must be
+        able to re-distribute to anyone they choose.
+
+
+     c. If the items are not available to the general public, and the
+        initial developer of the Software requests a copy of the items,
+        then you must supply one.
+
