    41         in future versions of the Software provided such versions remain

    42         available under these terms in addition to any other license(s) of

    53         to the distributed Software, including all modifications, without

    54         any charge beyond the costs of data transfer, and place prominent

    55         notices in the distribution explaining this.

    56 

    57      c. You must ensure that all modifications included in the

    58         machine-executable forms are available under the terms of this

    68    requirements:

    69 

    70      a. You must ensure that all recipients of machine-executable forms of

    71         these items are also able to receive and use the complete

    77         both machine-executable and source code forms. The recipients must

    78         be able to do so without any charges whatsoever, and they must be

    79         able to re-distribute to anyone they choose.

    80 

    81
