Hi Andreas,

Great, thanks a lot for your contribution.  I'll apply once the cvs2git
migration has been completed.

The FSF phrases freedom number 2 of the four freedoms as:

 "the freedom to share the software with your friends and neighbors"

(https://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html).  I personally prefer
that.  Another possibility would be '[...] want, share it, read and [...]'.
That would give a shorter total text which is good for layout.

What do you think?
