The license allows users to use, change and improve the software's source code, and to redistribute the software either before or after it has been modified.

The software being distributed must be redistributed to anyone else without any restriction. The source code must be made available (so that the receiving party will be able to improve or modify it). The license can require improved versions of the software to carry a different name or version from the original software.
