I think you need this document reviewing by a native English speaker. <br>
However the first issue I noted is that "core files" has a specific <br>
meaning in the technical English used for computing systems, and, and <br>
files that meet that definition are usually not of interest from an open <br>
source licensing point of view. and certainly not interesting enough a <br>
case to appear first on the list. On the other hand, "source code" is <br>
not defined, but that is a potentially contentious area.<br>
<br>
A core file, as generally understood in computing related English, is a <br>
file containing a copy of the, potentially, variable parts of the <br>
contents of the computer's memory when running the program, and, in <br>
particular, their contents immediately following the detection of a <br>
failure of the program.<br>
<br>
"Core" derives from the historic use of ferrite (ring) cores as a memory <br>
technology.<br>
<br>
Several other definitions don't feel consistent with normal English <br>
usage, so I'd need to spend a long time reading the text and referencing <br>
the definitions, to fully check it.<br>
<br>
(In the above quote, "implies to" is also not valid English, and I'm not <br>
completely sure whether you meant "refers to", or "implies", with no <br>
preposition.)<br>
