% FIXME: reword source code a bit
Section 1 retains GPLv2's definition of ``source code'' and adds an
explicit definition of ``object code'' as ``any non-source version of a
work.'' Object code is not restricted to a narrow technical meaning and
is to be understood broadly as including any form of the work other than
the preferred form for making modifications to it. Object code
therefore includes any kind of transformed version of source code, such
as bytecode. The definition of object code also ensures that licensees
cannot escape their obligations under the GPL by resorting to shrouded
source or obfuscated programming.
