  * The organisations and people most involved with the product are those with the greatest knowledge of the product and therefore the best option for efficient supply of services, customisation and support.

+The GNU AGPL requires you to make the source code available to your network users. [[BR]]
+So how do you do this? [[BR]]
+Easy if you are running an un-modified version just leave the link to www.gnumims.org on the header image intact. This will allow
+your users to find the community site and with it the source code. If you are running a modified version you are welcome
+to use our subversion repository, ask us about a custom branch or your changes may be included in the main trunk. If you don't
+want to do either of those then create a link in your modified version to your modified source, either way you are required to make the source code
+available to your network users.
