The current license is certainly intended to allow modification of the
code.  We are sorry if Richard's interpretation of the licence differs
from ours; I've talked with him about this topic, but (unfortunately)
changing the copyright notice on ILU involves opening a can of Xerox
legal worms that I'm not eager to encounter.

We'd like to change over to some form of the FSF license, but some other
things have to happen before we can safely pursue this.  I'd rather have
ILU available with a copyright that Richard feels is too risky to use,
than not have it available at all.
