The point of an open source license is telling people what they *can*
do and under what conditions, since the user is already in the
situation in which he can't do anything because of copyright law if
there isn't a license, so that is why they rephrase that saying
something like "in order to distribute in the binary form you must
also supply the source code".
But considering the open source definition I guess that sentence is
fine (depending on what is on there "(...)").


Anyway this discussion won't lead anywhere because there is very
little chance of having your license approved.
