Hi Andreas,
Great, thanks a lot for your contribution. I'll apply once the cvs2git

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?
