This seems to be the relevant part:

"The source code is available to be perused, used and passed on without
cost, while ensuring that the quality of the software is not compromised."

There is no mention of modification, and the second half of the sentence 
("while ensuring that the quality of the software is not compromised") 
sounds quite suspicious to me. So, without claiming any expert knowledge 
either, I would be sceptical.
