In order to be called "Slackware", the distribution may not be altered + from the way it appears on the central FTP site (ftp.slackware.com). This + is to protect the integrity, reliability, and reputation of the Slackware + distribution. (Note that moving entire directories like "source" or + "contrib" to a second CD-ROM is allowable, but leaving them out and + distributing a single source-free disc is *not*, as indicated below) + Anyone wishing to distribute an altered version must have the changes + approved by volkerdi@slackware.com (i.e. certified to be reasonably + bug-free). If the changed distribution meets the required standards for + quality, then written permission to use the Slackware trademark may be + provided. + +2. All related source code must be included. (This is also required by the + GNU General Public License) + +3. Except by written permission from Slackware Linux, Inc., the Slackware + trademark may not be used as (or as part of) a product name, company + name, or registered domain name. + +4. Any approved use of "Slackware" must be followed by a circle-R, and must + acknowledge our ownership of the mark. + +Note that you can still redistribute a distribution that doesn't meet these +criteria, you just can't call it "Slackware". Personally, I hate restricting +things in any way, but these restrictions are not designed to make life +difficult for anyone. I just want to make sure that bugs are not added to +commercial redistributions of Slackware. They have been in the past, and +the resulting requests for help have flooded my mailbox! I'm just trying to +make sure that I have some recourse when something like that happens. + +Any questions about this policy should be directed to: + Patrick Volkerding + + -- cgit v1.2.3
