Dear Mr Shridhar; My understanding is that the changes need to go back to the originator.
(That's how contribution to Linux Kernel went back to Linus and he could add it in his next version to bring it to 2.6x.) While its up to originator to add the Delta into his next version of software.

I believe the correct wording would be 'make the changes available to all the recipients of the modified software, irrespective of form of modified software, source/binary.' The changes does not need to go back to the owner. They should be available to the recipient of the modified software.
