To rephrase things, you're saying that if I deliver sources to a
customer who paid for the port, neither of us is under any obligation
to redistribute.  I'm under no obligation because clause 3a cancels
out 2b, and my customer is under no obligation as long as they keep
the software in house.  Is this what you meant?

If that is so, I'd like to to explore how clause 3a cancels out 2b (*
cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish ...  to be
licensed at no charge to all third parties ...).  To me it seems that
cancellation of any terms of 1 and 2 was not intended by the text of
3b.  Since it says the source "must be distributed under the terms of
Paragraph 1 and 2 above" I'd think I'd have to make that source
available to all third parties, etc., etc..  Can you explain your
interpretation further?
