Thanks Matthew, I just re-read DFSG 1 and see what you mean.  Thought
I'd check just to be safe.

There's no requirement that software be distributable for profit on its
own (though some believe that there should be). DFSG 1 is explicitly
written to allow that. The requirement to state that the code has been
modified is less awkward than what DFSG 4 allows, so I don't see any
problem with it.
