Condition 2(b) adds the qualification "work that you distribute or
publish". The phrasing might be a bit awkward, but the meaning is
clear. Language cleanup was one of the reasons for GPLv3, of course.
How do you cause the event ". . . the modified files to carry
prominent notices" when it is a precondition to permission to "You
may modify your copies. . ."?
The condition is a limitation on what the altered files may look
like. It is nonsensical to assume that copyright infringement occurs
due to the intermediate steps involved in producing a permitted
alteration.
Do you have the slightest idea what you are blathering about? I don't.
For example, no publisher's contract with an author explicitly
authorizes the publisher to create intermediate copies for the
process of producing a book, such as printing plates or digital
copies. But an author suing for infringement on those grounds would
get laughed out of court, not least for your favorite "promissory
estoppel".
Sincerely,
RJack :)
