Of course, you are right.  I should have written

  The GPL clause 2 basically says "you shall not [modify and 
  distribute] unless you also [distribute sources]".

But since that has always been interpreted as "modify and distribute"
together, there are better examples.  Such as the Artistic license:
   3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
   provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
   stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do
   at least ONE of the following:

or the W3C license, 
   [grants you permission to use], copy, modify, and distribute]
   as long as you include [license, IP notices, and change notices].


Do these pass Russ's wording?
