| <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> |
