    <para>The CentOS Artwork Repository organizes files in a very
e935c3
    specific way to implement The CentOS Project corporate visual
ca81f7
    identity. This very specific organization of files must be
ca81f7
    considered part of <command>centos-art.sh</command> script, a bash
ca81f7
    script that automate most of the frequent tasks inside the
ca81f7
    repository.</para>
e935c3
    
e935c3
    <para>The <command>centos-art.sh</command> script and the
e935c3
    organization of files it needs to work are not in the public
e935c3
    domain; they are copyrighted and there are restrictions on their
e935c3
    distribution, but these restrictions are designed to permit
e935c3
    everything that a good cooperating citizen would want to do.  What
e935c3
    is not allowed is to try to prevent others from further sharing
e935c3
    any version of this program that they might get from you.</para>
e935c3
    
e935c3
    <para>Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right
ca81f7
    to give away copies of <command>centos-art.sh</command> script and
ca81f7
    the organization of files it needs to work, that you receive
ca81f7
    source code or else can get it if you want it, that you can change
ca81f7
    this program or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that
ca81f7
    you know you can do these things.</para>
e935c3
    
e935c3
    <para>To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to
e935c3
    forbid you to deprive anyone else of these rights.  For example,
e935c3
    if you distribute copies of the <command>centos-art.sh</command>
e935c3
    script, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have.
e935c3
    You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
e935c3
    code.  And you must tell them their rights.</para>
e935c3
    
e935c3
    <para>Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that
e935c3
    everyone finds out that there is no warranty for the
e935c3
    <command>centos-art.sh</command> script.  If this program is
e935c3
    modified by someone else and passed on, we want their recipients
e935c3
    to know that what they have is not what we distributed, so that
e935c3
    any problems introduced by others will not reflect on our
e935c3
    reputation.</para>
e935c3
    
ca81f7
    <para>The <command>centos-art.sh</command> script is released as a
ca81f7
    GPL work.  Individual packages used by
ca81f7
    <command>centos-art.sh</command> script include their own licenses
ca81f7
    and the <command>centos-art.sh</command> script license applies to
ca81f7
    all packages that it does not clash with.  If there is a clash
ca81f7
    between the <command>centos-art.sh</command> script license and
ca81f7
    individual package licenses, the individual package license
ca81f7
    applies instead.</para>

    <para>The precise conditions of the license for the
