110    Version.
111
112    (b)  ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not
113    prevent the user installing or running the Standard Version. In

115    from the name of the Standard Version.
116
117    (c)  allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to

122
123    (ii)  a license that permits the licensee to freely copy,
124    modify and redistribute the Modified Version using the same
125    licensing terms that apply to the copy that the licensee
126    received, and requires that the Source form of the Modified
127    Version, and of any works derived from it, be made freely
128    available in that license fees are prohibited but Distributor
129    Fees are allowed.

139time while you are carrying out such distribution, become invalid, you
140must provide new instructions on demand or cease further distribution.
141If you provide valid instructions or cease distribution within thirty
142days after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then
143you do not forfeit any of your rights under this license.

163include the Package, and Distribute the result without restriction,
164provided the result does not expose a direct interface to the Package.
