I'm sure you'll have to be more specific/formal for it to matter; pretend 
you're talking to a lawyer :)

What source modification instructions on what page? That modifications have 
to be dual-licensed with GPL3? That's the only relevant "instruction" I

OK with what? With them redistributing POV betas? OK with distributing 
source code too? OK with disabling the hard-limit on beta expiration?
