Section 1 gives you the permision to distribute source, and covers the general terms for distribution of anything. That is its primary function. Section 2 gives you permision to distribute modified version of the program's source (and in conjunction with 3, modified versions of the program's object or executable code.). That's its primary function. Section 3 gives you permision to distribute object or executable code, either modified or original. That's its primary function. Regardless, if you would like a more definitive opinion about this, feel free to talk to the FSF.
