+<br>Chapter 13 - Redistributing Debian GNU/Linux in a commercial product
+</h1>

+<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.
+</p>

+<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>
+
+<hr>
+
+<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.
