The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0 This License applies to any program or other work
which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder saying it may be distributed under the terms
of this General Public License The “Program”, below,
refers to any such program or work, and a“work based
on the Program” means either the Program or any
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
work containing the Program or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into
another language (Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the term “modification” ) Each
licensee is addressed as “you”
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away
your freedom to share and change it By contrast, the
GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your
freedom to share and change free software--to make sure
the software is free for all its users This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s
software and to any other program whose authors
commit to using it (Some other Free Software Foundation
software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public
License instead ) You can apply it to your programs, too
Activities other than copying, distribution and
modification are not covered by this License; they
are outside its scope The act of running the Program
is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on
the Program (independent of having been made by
running the Program) Whether that is true depends
on what the Program does
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom, not price Our General Public Licenses are
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can
get it if you want it, that you can change the software or
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know
you can do these things
1 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium,
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices
that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program
a copy of this License along with the Program
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
surrender the rights These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients
all the rights that you have You must make sure that they,
too, receive or can get the source code And you must
show them these terms so they know their rights
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring
a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee

2 You may modify your copy or copies of the Program
or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
a Accompany it with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
a You must cause the modified files to carry
prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change
b Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least
three years, to give any third party, for a charge
no more than your cost of physically performing
source distribution, a complete machine-readable
copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
b You must cause any work that you distribute or
publish, that in whole or in part contains or is
derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
under the terms of this License
c Accompany it with the information you received as
totheoffertodistributecorrespondingsourcecode
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program
in object code or executable form with such an
offer, in accord with Subsection b above )
c If the modified program normally reads commands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when
started running for such interactive use in the most
ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and
a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying
that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions,
and telling the user how to view a copy of
this License (Exception: if the Program itself is
interactive but does not normally print such an
announcement, your work based on the Program
is not required to print an announcement )
The source code for a work means the preferred form
of the work for making modifications to it For an
executable work, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts
used to control compilation and installation of the
executable However, as a special exception, the source
code distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
on) of the operating system on which the executable
runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable
These requirements apply to the modified work as
a whole If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
and every part regardless of who wrote it
If distribution of executable or object code is made
by offering access to copy from a designated place,
then offering equivalent access to copy the source
code from the same place counts as distribution of
the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object
code
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights
or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribution of derivative or collective works based on
the Program
4 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute
the Program except as expressly provided under
this License Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License
However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not
based on the Program with the Program (or with a
work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage
or distribution medium does not bring the other work
under the scope of this License
3 You may copy and distribute the Program (or a
work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you also do one of the following:

5 You are not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Program or
its derivative works These actions are prohibited by
law if you do not accept this License Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work
based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance
of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions
for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or
works based on it
8 If the distribution and/or use of the Program is
restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Program under this License may add an
explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only
in or among countries not thus excluded In such case,
this License incorporates the limitation as if written in
the body of this License
9 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised
and/or new versions of the General Public License
from time to time Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns
6 Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work
based on the Program), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these
terms and conditions You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights
granted herein You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License
Each version is given a distinguishing version number
If the Program specifies a version number of this
License which applies to it and “any later version”, you
have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundation If the Program does
not specify a version number of this License, you
may choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation
7 If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on
you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
that contradict the conditions of this License, they do
not excuse you from the conditions of this License If
you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
your obligations under this License and any other
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all For example,
if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
redistribution of the Program by all those who receive
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only
way you could satisfy both it and this License would
be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program
10 If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into
other free programs whose distribution conditions are
different, write to the author to ask for permission For
software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation;
we sometimes make exceptions for this Our decision
will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free
status of all derivatives of our free software and of
promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally

use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you
to surrender these rights These restrictions translate to
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of
the library or if you modify it
For example, if you distribute copies of the library,
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients
all the rights that we gave you You must make sure that
they, too, receive or can get the source code If you link
other code with the library, you must provide complete
object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
with the library after making changes to the library and
recompiling it And you must show them these terms so
they know their rights

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the
existence of any free program We wish to make sure
that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of
a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a
patent holder Therefore, we insist that any patent license
obtained for a version of the library must be consistent
with the full freedom of use specified in this license
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL It also
counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License,
version 2, hence the version number 2 1 ]
Preamble
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered
by the ordinary GNU General Public License This license,
the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain
designated libraries, and is quite different from the
ordinary General Public License We use this license for
certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries
into non-free programs
The licenses for most software are designed to take away
your freedom to share and change it By contrast, the
GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee
your freedom to share and change free software--to make
sure the software is free for all its users
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies
to some specially designated software packages--
typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and
other authors who decide to use it You can use it too,
but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
this license or the ordinary General Public License is the
better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the
explanations below
When a program is linked with a library, whether
statically or using a shared library, the combination of
the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative
of the original library The ordinary General Public
License therefore permits such linking only if the entire
combination fits its criteria of freedom The Lesser General
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other
code with the library
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom of use, not price Our General Public Licenses

We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License
because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than
the ordinary General Public License It also provides
other free software developers Less of an advantage over
competing non-free programs These disadvantages are
the reason we use the ordinary General Public License
for many libraries However, the Lesser license provides
advantages in certain special circumstances
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation
in the term “modification” )
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of
the work for making modifications to it For a library,
complete source code means all the source code for
all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the library
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special
need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain
library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard To achieve
this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library
A more frequent case is that a free library does the same
job as widely used non-free libraries In this case, there is
little to gain by limiting the free library to free software
only, so we use the Lesser General Public License
Activities other than copying, distribution and
modification are not covered by this License; they are
outside its scope The act of running a program using
the Library is not restricted, and output from such a
program is covered only if its contents constitute a
work based on the Library (independent of the use
of the Library in a tool for writing it) Whether that is
true depends on what the Library does and what the
program that uses the Library does
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-
free programs enables a greater number of people to use
a large body of free software For example, permission to
use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many
more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as
well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system
1 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in
any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to
the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of
this License along with the Library
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less
protective of the users’ freedom, it does ensure that the
user of a program that is linked with the Library has the
freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a
modified version of the Library
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring
a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow Pay close attention to the
difference between a “work based on the library” and a
“work that uses the library” The former contains code
derived from the library, whereas the latter must be
combined with the library in order to run
2 You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Library, and copy and distribute such modifications
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
a The modified work must itself be a software library
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
b You must cause the files modified to carry
prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change
0 This License Agreement applies to any software library
or other program which contains a notice placed by
the copyright holder or other authorized party saying
it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser
General Public License (also called“this License”) Each
licensee is addressed as “you”
c You must cause the whole of the work to be
licensed at no charge to all third parties under the
terms of this License
d If a facility in the modified Library refers to a
function or a table of data to be supplied by an
application program that uses the facility, other
than as an argument passed when the facility is
invoked, then you must make a good faith effort
to ensure that, in the event an application does
not supply such function or table, the facility
still operates, and performs whatever part of its
purpose remains meaningful
A “library” means a collection of software functions
and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked
with application programs (which use some of those
functions and data) to form executables
The“Library”, below, refers to any such software library
or work which has been distributed under these terms
A“work based on the Library”means either the Library
or any derivative work under copyright law: that is
to say, a work containing the Library or a portion
of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated straightforwardly into another language
(For example, a function in a library to compute square
roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined
independent of the application Therefore, Subsection
2d requires that any application-supplied function or
High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter

Appendix E: Software End User License Agreement
table used by this function must be optional: if the
application does not supply it, the square root function
must still compute square roots )
compelled to copy the source along with the object
code
5 A program that contains no derivative of any portion
of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library
by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work
that uses the Library” Such a work, in isolation, is not
a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls
outside the scope of this License
These requirements apply to the modified work as
a whole If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Library, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
and every part regardless of who wrote it
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with
the Library creates an executable that is a derivative
of the Library (because it contains portions of the
Library), rather than a “work that uses the library” The
executable is therefore covered by this License Section
6 states terms for distribution of such executables
When a“work that uses the Library”uses material from
a header file that is part of the Library, the object code
for the work may be a derivative work of the Library
even though the source code is not Whether this is
true is especially significant if the work can be linked
without the Library, or if the work is itself a library The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by
law
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights
or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribution of derivative or collective works based on
the Library
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not
based on the Library with the Library (or with a work
based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work
under the scope of this License
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters,
data structure layouts and accessors, and small
macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in
length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted,
regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work
(Executables containing this object code plus portions
of the Library will still fall under Section 6 )
3 You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU
General Public License instead of this License to a
given copy of the Library To do this, you must alter all
the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer
to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version
2, instead of to this License (If a newer version than
version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License
has appeared, then you can specify that version
instead if you wish ) Do not make any other change
in these notices
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you
may distribute the object code for the work under the
terms of Section 6 Any executables containing that
work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are
linked directly with the Library itself
6 As an exception to the Sections above, you may also
combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the
Library to produce a work containing portions of the
Library, and distribute that work under terms of your
choice, provided that the terms permit modification
of the work for the customer’s own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is
irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General
Public License applies to all subsequent copies and
derivative works made from that copy
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the
code of the Library into a program that is not a library
You must give prominent notice with each copy of
the work that the Library is used in it and that the
Library and its use are covered by this License You
must supply a copy of this License If the work during
execution displays copyright notices, you must include
the copyright notice for the Library among them, as
well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this
License Also, you must do one of these things:
4 You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion
or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
2 above provided that you accompany it with the
complete corresponding machine-readable source
code, which must be distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used
for software interchange
If distribution of object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering
equivalent access to copy the source code from the
same place satisfies the requirement to distribute
the source code, even though third parties are not

Appendix E: Software End User License Agreement
a Accompany the work with the complete
corresponding machine-readable source code
for the Library including whatever changes were
used in the work (which must be distributed
under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work
is an executable linked with the Library, with the
complete machine-readable “work that uses the
Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that
the user can modify the Library and then relink
to produce a modified executable containing the
modified Library (It is understood that the user
who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile
the application to use the modified definitions )
7 You may place library facilities that are a work based
on the Library side-by-side in a single library together
with other library facilities not covered by this License,
and distribute such a combined library, provided that
the separate distribution of the work based on the
Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a Accompany the combined library with a copy of
the same work based on the Library, uncombined
with any other library facilities This must be
distributed under the terms of the Sections above
b Give prominent notice with the combined library of
the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library,
and explaining where to find the accompanying
uncombined form of the same work
b Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking
with the Library A suitable mechanism is one that
(1) uses at run time a copy of the library already
present on the user’s computer system, rather than
copying library functions into the executable, and
(2) will operate properly with a modified version of
the library, if the user installs one, as long as the
modified version is interface-compatible with the
version that the work was made with
8 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library except as expressly provided
under this License Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library
is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
under this License However, parties who have
received copies, or rights, from you under this License
will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance
c Accompany the work with a written offer, valid
for at least three years, to give the same user the
materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a
charge no more than the cost of performing this
distribution
9 You are not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it However, nothing else grants
you permission to modify or distribute the Library
or its derivative works These actions are prohibited
by law if you do not accept this License Therefore,
by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work
based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions
for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or
works based on it
d If distribution of the work is made by offering access
to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent
access to copy the above specified materials from
the same place
e Verify that the user has already received a copy of
these materials or that you have already sent this
user a copy
10 Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work
based on the Library), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute, link with or modify the Library subject
to these terms and conditions You may not impose
any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of
the rights granted herein You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
License
For an executable, the required form of the “work that
uses the Library” must include any data and utility
programs needed for reproducing the executable
from it However, as a special exception, the materials
to be distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
on) of the operating system on which the executable
runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the
license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that
do not normally accompany the operating system
Such a contradiction means you cannot use both
them and the Library together in an executable that
you distribute
