+Title: About this Manual
+
+
+Scope
+=====
+
+This manual describes certain legal and technical policy requirements that apply
+to all software included in this distribution.
+
+This manual does not describe practices for making source or binary packages.
+Nor does it describe any aspects of the operating system as a whole, including
+the filesystem hierarchy, system users, file modes, or service scripts.
+
+
+Rationale
+=========
+
+Legal Distribution
+------------------
+
+These requirements ensure that each package may be distributed individually or
+as part of a complete operating system, with or without charge, by anyone.  This
+means that hosts of package archive mirrors are legally allowed to distribute
+copies of the packages in the distribution.  It means that commercial vendors
+are legally allowed to distribute copies of this operating system, in whole or
+in part, in their products.  It also means that users who receive copies of this
+operating system or its packages are legally allowed to redistribute copies of
+the software they possess.
+
+Software Freedom
+----------------
+
+These requirements ensure that users and vendors have certain rights in the
+software they use and distribute.  Specifically, for each software package in
+the distribution, users and vendors have the right to use the software for any
+purpose, the right to study and modify the software, and the right to distribute
+copies – modified or unmodified – of the software.
+
+For more information on software freedom and the rights of users and
+distributors of free, libre, and open-source software, see the [Free Software
+Definition][].
+

+
+Effective Support
+-----------------
+
+These requirements ensure that distribution maintainers are able to effectively
+support the software packages for which they are responsible.  Specifically,
+maintainers are able to study and modify their packages in order to support
+users and resolve technical issues in the software.

+Title: Source Code
+
+
+Definition
+==========
+
+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.
+
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+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.

+ensure that all included software can be legally distributed and effectively
+supported.
