If the source is distributed under 3b) and not 3a). Keep that in mind.

But the 2nd party, which recd the program as per 3.a. has a copy of
the source and if it wishes to redistribute the object code,
necessarily has to redistribute the source also. Only, in this case
the 3rd party cannot pester the 1st party for the source. The 1st part
CANNOT restrict the 2nd party from redistributing it!!!
