When the maintainer asks you (in any way) for a copy of -the modified Vim you distributed, you must make your changes, including source -code, available to the maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the -right to include your changes in the official version of Vim . What the maintainer -will do with your changes and under what license they will be distributed -is negotiable. If there has been no negotiation then this license, or a later -version, also applies to your changes. The current maintainer is Bram Moolenaar -<Bram@vim.org>. If this changes it will be announced in appropriate places -(most likely vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors).
