However, as a special exception, the source - code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or - binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system - on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. - </para> - - <para> - If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a - designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place - counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to - copy the source along with the object code. - </para> - </sect2> - - <sect2 id="sect4" label="4"> - <title>Section 4</title> - - <para> - You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided - under this License.

If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously - your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence - you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit - royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or - indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be - to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. - </para> - - <para> - If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, - the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply - in other circumstances. - </para> - - <para> - It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property - right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of - protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public - license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software - distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up - to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other - system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. - </para> - - <para> - This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the - rest of this License. - </para> - </sect2> - - <sect2 id="sect8" label="8"> - <title>Section 8</title> - - <para> - If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents - or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License - may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that - distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded.
