Those changes are not authored by LBL and thus are not part of their codebase nor covered by this license. You could distribute *just* the changes (as source) to interested developers, and you would be perfectly within the law.
...Well, one would hope. Of course *I'd* be willing for you to take the risk, but then *I* wouldn't be the one facing a suit.
Failing explicit source code to your changes, would you be interested in offering the details of what you had to change and why?
Thanks!
