-<h2><a name="s-sellcds"></a>13.1 Can I make and sell Debian CDs?</h2>
-
-<p>
-Go ahead. You do not need permission to distribute anything we have
-<em>released</em>, so that you can master your CD as soon as the beta-test
-ends. You do not have to pay us anything. Of course, all CD manufacturers
-must honor the licenses of the programs in Debian. For example, many of the
-programs are licensed under the GPL, which requires you to distribute their
-source code.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Also, we will publish a list of CD manufacturers who donate money, software,
-and time to the Debian project, and we will encourage users to buy from
-manufacturers who donate, so it is good advertising to make donations.
-</p>

-<h2><a name="s-packagednonfree"></a>13.2 Can Debian be packaged with non-free software?</h2>
-
-<p>
-Yes. While all the main components of Debian are free software, we provide a
-non-free directory for programs that are not freely redistributable.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-CD manufacturers <em>may</em> be able to distribute the programs we have placed
-in that directory, depending on the license terms or their private arrangements
-with the authors of those software packages. CD manufacturers can also
-distribute the non-free software they get from other sources on the same CD.
-This is nothing new: free and commercial software are distributed on the same
-CD by many manufacturers now. Of course we still encourage software authors to
-release the programs they write as free software.

-<h2><a name="s-childistro"></a>13.3 I am making a special Linux distribution for a &quot;vertical market&quot;. Can I use Debian GNU/Linux for the guts of a Linux system and add my own applications on top of it?</h2>
-
-<p>
-Yes. Debian-derived distributions are being created both in close cooperation
-with the Debian project itself and by external parties. One can use the
-<code><a href="http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/">Custom Debian
-Distributions</a></code> framework to work together with Debian; <code><a
-href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a></code> is one such project.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-One person is building a &quot;Linux for Hams&quot; distribution, with
-specialized programs for Radio Amateurs. He is starting with Debian as the
-&quot;base system&quot;, and adding programs to control the transmitter, track
-satellites, etc. All of the programs he adds are packaged with the Debian
-packaging system so that his users will be able to upgrade easily when he
-releases subsequent CDs.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-There are several other Debian-derived distributions already on the market,
-such as Progeny Debian, Linspire, Knoppix and Ubuntu, that are targeted at a
-different kind of audience than the original Debian GNU/Linux is, but use most
-of our components in their product.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Debian also provides a mechanism to allow developers and system administrators
-to install local versions of selected files in such a way that they will not be
-overwritten when other packages are upgraded. This is discussed further in the
-question on <a href="ch-customizing.en.html#s-divert">How do I override a file
-installed by a package, so that a different version can be used instead?,
-Section 10.8</a>.
-</p>

-
-<h2><a name="s-commercialdebs"></a>13.4 Can I put my commercial program in a Debian &quot;package&quot; so that it installs effortlessly on any Debian system?</h2>
-
-<p>
-Go right ahead. The package tool is free software; the packages may or may not
-be free software, it can install them all.
