My thinking was that the MIT license says all of this:
use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies
I understand why we'd select use from that list, but it's less clear why we'd also include modify over copy or distribute. Just sticking with use seemed simplest and best.
So that was my thinking. If that's not persuasive, I'll restore and modify to the text.

Maybe /s/modify/fix/ might give the reader the hint we imply ;)

@Trott That’s okay with me, yeah… I guess I’ve thought that modify
would be the least likely of the verbs you used for which it would be assumed that it’s okay to do?
