[2a-c only applies to distribution of modifications.
I'm inclined to disagree with you, and agree with Dave Turner on that one (which is the point I was making). I do however agree that the wording of the intro to 2 is not perfect, and could be interpreted in either way. I agree with Dave, however, that 2b's explicit mention of distribution and publishing would tend to support our view. Consideration of the scenario of use of a modified but undistributed version of a program within the modifying organisation would also lead one to conclude that our interpretation of 2 as a whole is desirable, and likely to be the intention of the license's author(s).
