I agree.  The main issue I had was with "(6) You may Distribute a
Modified Version in Compiled form without the Source, provided that you
comply with Section 4 with respect to the Source of the Modified Version."

Is that intended to allow proprietary modifications?  As written, it
doesn't seem to require source distribution for modified versions, only
specifying how the source *can* be distributed.
