| |
| containing the Fedora trademark identified in Section 2 below, the
| |
| license terms for the components permit User to copy and
| |
| redistribute the component. With the potential exception of certain
| |
| firmware files (denoted in the License field of the RPM packaging),
| |
| the license terms for the components permit User to copy, modify and
| |
| redistribute the component, in both source code and binary code
| |
| forms. This agreement does not limit User's rights under, or grant
| |
| User rights that supersede, the license terms of any particular
| |
| component.

| |
| or a license for a particular component, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
| |
