License Agreement  
License Information on the software used in the  
TOSHIBA Digital TV  
The software pre-installed in the TOSHIBA Digital Televisions consists of multiple,  
independent software components. Each software component is copyrighted by TOSHIBA  
or a third party.  
The TOSHIBA Digital Televisions uses software components that are distributed as  
freeware under a third-party end-user license agreement or copyright notice (hereinafter  
referred to as a "EULA"). Some EULAs require that the source code of the applicable  
component be disclosed as the condition for distributing the software component in  
executable format.  
In addition, some of the software components which are used in Toshiba Digital Televisions  
include the software that are made or developed originally by TOSHIBA. These software  
and accompanied documents are copyrighted by TOSHIBA, and protected by Copyright  
Act, an international treaty's articles and other governing laws. The software components  
which are made or developed originally by TOSHIBA and not subject to EULAs are not a  
target of source code offering.  
The Toshiba warranty provided in respect of the Digital TV is the only warranty provided  
and no additional warranties are provided in respect of the software components subject to  
EULAs.  
Some of the software components distributed under EULAs are made available for use by  
the user on the premise that they are not copyrighted or warranted by TOSHIBA or any third  
party. These software components are licensed to the user free of charge and therefore not  
covered by any warranty within the scope of the applicable laws. These software  
components are provided in "as is" condition without any warranty, whether express or

implied. "Warranty" here includes, but not limited to, an implied warranty for marketability  
or fitness for specific uses. All risks associated with the quality or performance of these  
software components are assumed by the user. TOSHIBA shall not be liable whatsoever for  
any cost of repair or correction or other incidental expense incurred in connection with a  
defect found in any of these software components. Unless specified under the applicable  
laws or in a written agreement, a party who changes or redistributes the software with  
consent from the copyright holders or based on the aforementioned licenses shall not be held  
liable whatsoever for any loss arising from the use of or inability to use such software  
components. The same applies even when the copyright holders or relevant third parties  
have been informed of the possibility of such loss. "Loss" here includes normal, special,  
incidental and indirect loss (including, but not limited to, the loss of data or its accuracy; loss  
incurred by the user or any third party; and interface incompatibility with other software).  
Please read each EULA for details on the use conditions and items that must be observed  
regarding these software components.  
The table below lists the software components pre-installed in the TOSHIBA Digital  
Televisions, which are subject to EULAs. The user should read the applicable EULAs  
carefully before using these software components. The EULAs are exhibited in their  
original text (English) as exactly written by the respective parties other than TOSHIBA.  
For at least three (3) years from the date of distribution of the this product, Toshiba will give  
to anyone who contacts Toshiba Consumer Solutions at (800) 631-3811, for a charge of no  
more than our cost of physically performing source code distribution, a complete machine-  
readable copy of the complete corresponding GPL and LGPL source code for the version of  
the GPL and LGPL code that we distributed to you in this product.

Exhibit A  
The authors make NO WARRANTY or representation, either express or implied, with  
respect to this software, its quality, accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular  
purpose. This software is provided "AS IS", and you, its user, assume the entire risk as to its  
quality and accuracy.  
This software is copyright (C) 1991-2011, Thomas G. Lane, Guido Vollbeding.  
All Rights Reserved except as specified below.  
Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software (or portions  
thereof) for any purpose, without fee, subject to these conditions:  
(1) If any part of the source code for this software is distributed, then this README file  
must be included, with this copyright and no-warranty notice unaltered; and any additions,  
deletions, or changes to the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying  
documentation.  
(2) If only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying documentation must state  
that "this software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group".

License Agreement  
126  
(3) Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user accepts full responsibility  
for any undesirable consequences; the authors accept NO LIABILITY for damages of any  
kind.  
These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the IJG code, not just to the  
unmodified library. If you use our work, you ought to acknowledge us.  
Permission is NOT granted for the use of any IJG author's name or company name in  
advertising or publicity relating to this software or products derived from it. This software  
may be referred to only as "the Independent JPEG Group's software".  
We specifically permit and encourage the use of this software as the basis of commercial  
products, provided that all warranty or liability claims are assumed by the product vendor.  
ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter Deutsch, sole proprietor  
of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA. ansi2knr.c is NOT covered  
by the above copyright and conditions, but instead by the usual distribution terms of the Free  
Software Foundation; principally, that you must include source code if you redistribute it.  
(See the file ansi2knr.c for full details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part of  
any program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more than the foregoing  
paragraphs do.  
The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf. It is  
copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is freely distributable. The same holds for its  
supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub, ltmain.sh). Another support script, install-sh, is  
copyright by X Consortium but is also freely distributable.  
The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files. To avoid  
entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has been removed  
altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs". This  
technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but  
are readable by all standard GIF decoders.  
We are required to state that  
"The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the Copyright property of CompuServe  
Incorporated. GIF(sm) is a Service Mark property of CompuServe Incorporated."

Introduction  
The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; some of them may contain,  
in addition to the FreeType font engine, various tools and contributions which rely on, or  
relate to, the FreeType Project.  
This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not fall under their own  
explicit license. The license affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs,  
documentation and makefiles, at the very least.

License Agreement  
127  
This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG Group) licenses,  
which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in commercial and freeware products  
alike. As a consequence, its main points are that:  
We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be interested in any kind  
of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)  
You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, without having  
to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)  
You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only parts of it, in a  
program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that you have  
used the FreeType code. (`credits')  
We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or without  
modifications, in commercial products. We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType  
Project and assume no liability related to The FreeType Project.  
Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/disclaimer to use in  
compliance with this license. We thus encourage you to use the following text:  
Portions of this software are copyright © 1996-2002 The FreeType  
Project (freetype.org). All rights reserved.
