Once sentence here was not redundant.

Most of the pasted text was redundant to the existing guide text, but
one sentence reiterates a useful point in a creative way, so that
sentence is herein integrated into the preceding paragraph.

 physical servers.  For example, a downstream distributor may provide a link
 to an upstream distributor's server and arrange with the operator of that
 server to keep the source code available for copying for as long as the
 downstream distributor enables access to the object code.  This codifies
 formally the typical historical interpretation of GPLv2.
 % FIXME-URGENT: integrate
 This provision allows, for the first time, for third-party provision of
 complete and corresponding source code in commercial distribution
 situations. The obligation remains on the party distributing the non-source
 form to point prominently (``next to'' the non-source download) to the
 third-party source code provisioning server, and to ensure that this
 third-party server remains in operation for required period.

 % ``slow down'' on source downloads being a compliance problem.
