If that plugin is distributed, yes. If someone only makes changes for themselves, then publishing is not required. Note that since Vim plugins only work with Vim script, thus anybody who gets the plugin also implicitly gets the source code. It could be obfuscated, but that's about it. > * Is every "maintainer" in license text means "Vim Maintainer"? Or some > "maintainer" are "[Project] Maintainer"? All the occurences of "maintainer" in the license refer to the Vim maintainer. > What I cared about most is `III)` which also includes a email address > in the text.

But as mentioned, it would be difficult to create a Vim script and distributed it without implicitly distributing the source code. -- XML is a nice language for computers.
