+Updated code and extended documentation of the scripts used on our network that stand to be useful for other entities.

+- Install anything without your permission or detailed disclosure
+- Download anything without your permission or detailed disclosure
+- Upload anything without your permission or detailed disclosure
+- Write in system locations without your permission
+  - Not considered system locations:
+    - root's home folder (''/root'')
+    - ''/var/log''
+    - ''/etc/$0''
+    - ''.''
+  - System locations:
+    - The rest of ''/etc'', ''/var''. Everything directly under ''/'', including places like ''/usr/local'' and similar.

It must not be delivered in exchange for information (e.g. as a link emailed to the user, or that requires logging in to a service,) if there would be a need for it to be downloaded again to fix corruption or for any other reason: it must be downloadable using utilities similar to ''wget'' or ''curl'', without requiring the user the acceptance of cookies. Other than that, feel free to do as you please with them as long you keep the same license (and tell about it,) state the changes, and most importantly: disclose the source.
