** <u>at a cost or otherwise</u> and
 
** <u>withthout permission</u> from anyone else
 
* to <i>improve</i> the program and to release their improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public so that the whole community may benefit <u>if the author chooses to do so</u> (access to the source code is a precondition for this).
