@Josh,

modifications they wish and to distribute those modified versions.

What I meant was they can modify the version and distribute but they need
mention the original work/copyright etc with their modified work. They own
their modified work and not the initial developer. Example

//ABC PROJECT
// LICENSE xxx
//..
//Initial Author and Copyrights XYZ..... (just an example).
//License Initial License

I can see there is approved CPAL1.0 LICENSE
https://opensource.org/licenses/CPAL-1.0  These license are then not
compliant OSD but still there.
