<para>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.</para>

<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 <xref
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>
