+Definition of Source Code [defn-source]
+=======================================
+
+The "source code" of a software package is the form that is preferred for making
+modifications to it.  This form varies with the nature of the software package.
+Generally, it is the form originally edited by the software's author.
+
+The source code includes all machine- or human-readable instructions necessary
+to generate and install the form of the software that is to be executed on a
+computer system.  It need not include software that is made available in source
+code form elsewhere.
+
+
+Provision of Source Code [source-provision]
+===========================================
+
+To be included in this distribution, every part of a software package must be
+available in source code form.  The binary packages generated from the
+distribution's source package must be derived directly from the package source
+code.
