Correct and integrate this pasted paragraph.

 In particular, any time your vendor incorporates copylefted software, you
 \textit{must} exercise your own rights as a user to request CCS for all the
 copylefted programs that your suppliers provided to you.  Furthermore, you
 must ensure that CCS is correct and adequate yourself.  Good vendors should
 help you do this, and make it easy.  If those vendors cannot, pick a
 different vendor before proceeding with the product.
