The difference here is that because source code was modified it is possible
for any C programmer to do a recursive diff between all versions going back
and find/remove exactly what was changed. It can also be fixed and
redistributed with the full confidence, assurance and accountability of the
developer who is willing to stand by his work.
In order words, we don't have to rely on Bill and Ballmer saying it's okay,
while shoveling unrelated "fixes" and EULA changes down our throats.
