I brought this up on debian-legal a while ago: https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/[email protected] Since then I talked to one of RedHat's lawyers and they mentioned that they have dealt with this problem too and concluded that these licenses were intended to cover modification. The current wording of the initial part of the BSD license reflects an attempt to correct an earlier mistake (i.e. someone pointed out the error and Berkeley added "with or without modification"). Also note that the anti-endorsement clause implies a right to modify. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
