<p>In any given scenario, these freedoms must apply to whatever code |

|
we plan to make use of, or lead others to make use of. For instance, |
| 80 |
|
consider a program A which automatically launches a program B to |
| 81 |
|
handle some cases. If we plan to distribute A as it stands, that |
| 82 |
|
implies users will need B, so we need to judge whether both A and B |
| 83 |
|
are free. However, if we plan to modify A so that it doesn't use B, |
| 84 |
|
only A needs to be free; we can ignore B.</p> |
