Accepting the Hacking License, you join a community that shares and extends the knowledge that the covered material (the "Hack") represents. You freely receive our Hacks as long as you freely share your own. 1) Receiving a License by Accepting the Contract ------------------------------------------------ In order to receive this Hacking License, you must accept its terms and agree to its rules as both strict obligations and conditions to your Hacking License.
