   1-1 The license shall not
   restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of
   an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different
   sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale

This could be changed to:

   1-1 The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the 
   software, EITHER ON ITS OWN, OR as a component of an aggregate software 
   distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license 
   shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale
