    c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
    least three years, to give the same user the materials
    specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
    than the cost of performing this distribution.

    d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
    from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
    specified materials from the same place.

 * <h4>Performance notes</h4>
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Implementations can be generally assumed to prioritize memory efficiency, then speed of
 *       access, and lastly speed of creation.
 *   <li>The {@code copyOf} methods will sometimes recognize that the actual copy operation is
 *       unnecessary; for example, {@code copyOf(copyOf(anArrayList))} should copy the data only
