+><P
+> 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.</P
+><P
+> Lately there have been reports of problems with some kind of
+ "parental control" software based on Privoxy that came preinstalled on
+ certain <A
+HREF="https://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/bugs/813/"
+TARGET="_top"
+>ASUS Netbooks</A
+>.
+ 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.</P
+><P
+> Privoxy's <A
+HREF="copyright.html"
+>license</A
+> 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.</P
+><P
+> 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.</P
