I think it is OK to distribute a modified gnuplot binary, but there
are some unusual restrictions that you should be aware of:
* Permission to modify the software is granted, but not the right to
* distribute the complete modified source code. Modifications are to
* be distributed as patches to the released version. Permission to
* distribute binaries produced by compiling modified sources is granted,
* provided you
* 1. distribute the corresponding source modifications from the
* released version in the form of a patch file along with the binaries,
* 2. add special version identification to distinguish your version
* in addition to the base release version number,
* 3. provide your name and address as the primary contact for the
* support of your modified version, and
* 4. retain our contact information in regard to use of the base
* software.
* Permission to distribute the released version of the source code along
* with corresponding source modifications in the form of a patch file is
* granted with same provisions 2 through 4 for binary distributions.
