Dell DX6000 Notice page 27

2. Source Code
The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled
form.
3. Derived Works
The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the
same terms as the license of the original software.
4.Integrity of The Author's Source Code
The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form _only_ if the license allows
the distribution of patch files with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time.
The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license
may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software. (This
is a compromise. The Debian group encourages all authors not to restrict any files, source or binary,
from being modified.)
5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.
6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For
example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic
research.
7. Distribution of License
The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the program is redistributed without the need
for execution of an additional license by those parties.
8. License Must Not Be Specific to Debian
The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's being part of a Debian system. If the
program is extracted from Debian and used or distributed without Debian but otherwise within the terms of
the program's license, all parties to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights as
those that are granted in conjunction with the Debian system.
9. License Must Not Contaminate Other Software
The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software.
For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be free
software.
10.Example Licenses
The GPL, BSD, and Artistic licenses are examples of licenses that we consider free.
The concept of stating our social contract with the free software community was suggested by Ean
Schuessler. This document was drafted by Bruce Perens, refined by the other Debian developers
during a month-long e-mail conference in June 1997, and then accepted as the publicly stated policy
