I'd like to bring up my copyright question again: Is it ok now to modify and
repost Csound? I was under the impression that this was not permitted under
the MIT copyright. For example, at one time I wanted to post Csound on
Compuserve but was told that this wasn't permitted. What's the story here?

The following from the Copyright notice:
