26936f
    <para>The source code for a work means the preferred form of the
26936f
    work for making modifications to it.  For an executable work,
26936f
    complete source code means all the source code for all modules it
26936f
    contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the
26936f
    scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
26936f
    executable.  However, as a special exception, the source code
26936f
    distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed
26936f
    (in either source or binary form) with the major components
26936f
    (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the
26936f
    executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
26936f
    executable.</para>

26936f
    <para>If distribution of executable or object code is made by
26936f
    offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering
26936f
    equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place
26936f
    counts as distribution of the source code, even though third
26936f
    parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object
26936f
    code.</para>
