Many things might count as "modification":

- translation into a language other than English

- condensation (e.g., remove all the text and just show the examples)

- inclusion of significant portions in software (think literate programming)

- recording / performance (yes, I know, there's probably not a big
market for recordings or performances of RFCs)

- etc.
