I don't think being forced to actively send changes (or changelogs) upstream is any different than having to produce source on demand; both discriminate against people who *can't* publically release changes, such as people under NDA. It also places no time limit; see the first paragraph: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/debian-legal-200201/msg00010.html -- Glenn Maynard
