					  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of

					works, such as semiconductor masks.

 | 
					  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.

					To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					<br/>
 | 
				
			||||||

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					on the Program.

					# Binaries (i.e., Object Code) are Modifications

					+ Software that the computer understands is different than software humans
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  read.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					+ There is often a process required to modify (and/or translate) the software
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  from human-readable
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					      + This process can be done ahead of time.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					+ Separation of source and binary was the first way proprietary software
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  companies discovered to subjugate users.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					      + GPL uses the fact that binaries are modifications (which are often
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        distribution) to prevent that subjugation.
