A disclosure obligation does not curtail your freedom to change the program
so that it does your computing as you wish. It only prevents you from
making a trade secret of that change. And only in certain circumstances.
Please don't tell me that private modifications are a right fundmental to
Free Software or Open Source, because they stop being a right under current
FSF-authored and OSI-accepted licenses if you distribute, deploy, or
perform.

    Thanks
