            verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it

    <title>Preamble</title>

    <para>The CentOS Artwork Repository organizes files in a very

    specific way to implement The CentOS Project corporate visual

    identity. This very specific organization of files must be

    considered part of <command>centos-art.sh</command> script, a bash

    script that automate most of the frequent tasks inside the

    repository.</para>

    <para>The <command>centos-art.sh</command> script and the

    organization of files it needs to work are not in the public

    domain; they are copyrighted and there are restrictions on their

    distribution, but these restrictions are designed to permit

    everything that a good cooperating citizen would want to do.  What

    is not allowed is to try to prevent others from further sharing

    any version of this program that they might get from you.</para>

    <para>Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right

    to give away copies of <command>centos-art.sh</command> script and

    the organization of files it needs to work, that you receive

    source code or else can get it if you want it, that you can change

    this program or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that

    you know you can do these things.</para>

    <para>To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to

    forbid you to deprive anyone else of these rights.  For example,

    if you distribute copies of the <command>centos-art.sh</command>

    script, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have.

    You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source

    code.  And you must tell them their rights.</para>

    <para>Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that

    everyone finds out that there is no warranty for the

    <command>centos-art.sh</command> script.  If this program is

    modified by someone else and passed on, we want their recipients

    to know that what they have is not what we distributed, so that

    any problems introduced by others will not reflect on our

    reputation.</para>

    <para>The <command>centos-art.sh</command> script is released as a

    GPL work.  Individual packages used by

    <command>centos-art.sh</command> script include their own licenses

    and the <command>centos-art.sh</command> script license applies to

    all packages that it does not clash with.  If there is a clash

    between the <command>centos-art.sh</command> script license and

    individual package licenses, the individual package license

    applies instead.</para>

    <para>The precise conditions of the license for the

    <command>centos-art.sh</command> script are found in the 

    linkend="licenses-gpl" />. This manual specifically is

    covered by the <xref linkend="licenses-gfdl" />.</para>

    <title>The CentOS Brand</title>

    <para>The CentOS Brand () is the main visual manifestaion of The

    CentOS Project. The CentOS Project uses The CentOS Brand to

    connect all its visual manifestions (e.g., GNU/Linux

    Distributions, Websites, Stationery, etc.) and, this way, it

    provides recognition among other similar projects available on the

    Internet.</para>  

    <para>Both The CentOS Brand and all the visual manifestations that

    derivate from it are available for you to study and propose

    improvement around a good citizen's will at The CentOS Community

    environment, but you are not allowed to redistribute them

    elsewhere, without the given permission of The CentOS

    Project.</para>

    <para>If you need to redistribute either The CentOS Brand or any

    visual manifestation derived from it, write your intentions to the

    The CentOS Developers mailing list

    (centos-devel@centos.org).</para>
