    <para>The CentOS Artwork Repository organizes files in a very
9bfa66
    specific way to implement The CentOS Project corporate visual
9bfa66
    identity. This very specific organization of files must be
9bfa66
    considered part of <command>centos-art.sh</command> script, a bash
9bfa66
    script that automate most of the frequent tasks inside the
9bfa66
    repository.</para>
9bfa66
    
9bfa66
    <para>The <command>centos-art.sh</command> script and the
9bfa66
    organization of files it needs to work are not in the public
9bfa66
    domain; they are copyrighted and there are restrictions on their
9bfa66
    distribution, but these restrictions are designed to permit
9bfa66
    everything that a good cooperating citizen would want to do.  What
9bfa66
    is not allowed is to try to prevent others from further sharing
9bfa66
    any version of this program that they might get from you.</para>
9bfa66
    
9bfa66
    <para>Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right
9bfa66
    to give away copies of <command>centos-art.sh</command> script and
9bfa66
    the organization of files it needs to work, that you receive
9bfa66
    source code or else can get it if you want it, that you can change
9bfa66
    this program or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that
9bfa66
    you know you can do these things.</para>
9bfa66
    
9bfa66
    <para>To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to
9bfa66
    forbid you to deprive anyone else of these rights.  For example,
9bfa66
    if you distribute copies of the <command>centos-art.sh</command>
9bfa66
    script, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have.
9bfa66
    You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
9bfa66
    code.  And you must tell them their rights.</para>
9bfa66
    
9bfa66
    <para>Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that
9bfa66
    everyone finds out that there is no warranty for the
9bfa66
    <command>centos-art.sh</command> script.  If this program is
9bfa66
    modified by someone else and passed on, we want their recipients
9bfa66
    to know that what they have is not what we distributed, so that
9bfa66
    any problems introduced by others will not reflect on our
9bfa66
    reputation.</para>
9bfa66
    
9bfa66
    <para>The <command>centos-art.sh</command> script is released as a
9bfa66
    GPL work.  Individual packages used by
9bfa66
    <command>centos-art.sh</command> script include their own licenses
9bfa66
    and the <command>centos-art.sh</command> script license applies to
9bfa66
    all packages that it does not clash with.  If there is a clash
9bfa66
    between the <command>centos-art.sh</command> script license and
9bfa66
    individual package licenses, the individual package license
9bfa66
    applies instead.</para>

    <para>The precise conditions of the license for the
9bfa66
    <command>centos-art.sh</command> script are found in the

9bfa66
    <para>The CentOS Brand () is the main visual manifestaion of The
9bfa66
    CentOS Project. The CentOS Project uses The CentOS Brand to
9bfa66
    connect all its visual manifestions (e.g., GNU/Linux
9bfa66
    Distributions, Websites, Stationery, etc.) and, this way, it
9bfa66
    provides recognition among other similar projects available on the
9bfa66
    Internet.</para>  
9bfa66
    
9bfa66
    <para>Both The CentOS Brand and all the visual manifestations that
9bfa66
    derivate from it are available for you to study and propose
9bfa66
    improvement around a good citizen's will at The CentOS Community
9bfa66
    environment, but you are not allowed to redistribute them
