    <p>The Complete and Corresponding Source (CCS) is all of the technical materials and source code required to modify, run, and/or reinstall the software. The GPL and LGPL have a formal definitions for CCS, which is sometimes called "Corresponding Source.</p>
 
    <p>Software Freedom Conservancy works tirelessly to ensure that you have the right to repair and modify the software on your devices.  Use The Source shows you one of the key steps in this process: how we evaluate the source code candidates that companies provide to you, as is required when they use Linux or other GPLed software (most do).  Through the collaborative process shown in each candidate's comment threads, we highlight common issues in the below source candidates, and what steps need to be taken by the companies to fix them (i.e. to comply with software right to repair licenses like the GPL).  You can also see examples of candidates already in compliance, which are no longer just candidates, but real "corresponding source code".</p>
