+<title>How did you manage to get Privoxy on my computer without my consent?</title>
+
+<para>
+ We didn't. We make Privoxy available for download, but we don't go
+ around installing it on other people's systems behind their back.
+ If you discover Privoxy running on your system and are sure you didn't
+ install it yourself, somebody else did. You may not even be running
+ the real Privoxy, but maybe something else that only pretends to be
+ Privoxy, or maybe something that is based on the real Privoxy,
+ but has been modified.
+</para>
+<para>
+ Lately there have been reports of problems with some kind of
+ Privoxy versions that come preinstalled on some Netbooks.
+ Some of the problems described are inconsistent with the behaviour
+ of official Privoxy versions, which suggests that the preinstalled
+ software may contain vendor modifications that we don't know about
+ and thus can't debug.
+</para>
+<para>
+ Privoxy's <link linkend="copyright">license</link> allows vendor
+ modifications, but the vendor has to comply with the license,
+ which involves informing the user about the changes and to make
+ the changes available under the same license as Privoxy itself.
+</para>
+<para>
+ If you are having trouble with a modified Privoxy version,
+ please try to talk to whoever made the modifications before
+ reporting the problem to us. Please also try to convince
+ whoever made the modifications to talk to us. If you think
+ somebody gave you a modified Privoxy version without complying
+ to the license, please let us know.
