Correct and integrate this pasted paragraph.

Upon closer inspection, this pasted paragraph contained a clear error:

along with your product will ensure your compliance with the license.
In particular, any time your vendor incorporates copylefted software, you
\textit{must} exercise your own rights as a user to request CCS for all the
copylefted programs that your suppliers provided to you. Furthermore, you
must ensure that CCS is correct and adequate yourself. Good vendors should
help you do this, and make it easy. If those vendors cannot, pick a
different vendor before proceeding with the product.
