And how would "preferred form for making modifications" be defined?
In the same way that you define source code, or what modifications means. One argue a case in front of a judge, and if both parties agree, then that will be that. If the two sides disagree, the judge (or jury) makes a decision.
However, I think any programer would have a hard time arguing that the preferred form for modifications on binary file is not the source code. In the same way, they would have a hard time arguing that the preferred form to add modifications on source code that's been obfuscated is not on the non-obfuscated code. Judges and juries are not complete without common sense.

That is obvious, why are you telling me this?
I wasn't talking about binary files, of course I am referring to the source code.
