| IV. GPL2 |
| The Linux Kernel software program of the LiquidIO Software Package is licensed |
| under the GPL2, and the terms of which are as follows: |
| |
| GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| Version 2, June 1991 |
| Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
| 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA |
| |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copiesof this license |
| document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| i. 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
| (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute |
| and/or modify the software. |
| Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that |
| everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. |
| If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its |
| recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems |
| introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. |
| Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish |
| to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually |
| obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. |
| To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for |
| everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
| The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification |
| follow. |
| ii. 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". |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you |
| changed the files and the date of any change. |
| 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) 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.) |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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: |
| 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, |
| 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, |
| c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute |
| corresponding source code. (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.) |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. If any portion of this section is held invalid or |
| unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is |
| intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
| circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe |
| any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such |
| claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the |
| free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license |
| practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of |
| software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application |
| of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
| to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose |
| that choice. |
| This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a |
| consequence of the rest of this License. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| NO WARRANTY |
| 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR |
| THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE |
| STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE |
| PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, |
| INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND |
| FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND |
| PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, |
| YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL |
| ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE |
| PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, |
| SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR |
| INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA |
| BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
| FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER |
| OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
| END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| |
| How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| |
| If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
| possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
| free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
| |
| To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
| to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
| convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
| the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
| |
| <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
| Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
| |
| This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
| it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
| the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or |
| (at your option) any later version. |
| |
| This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
| but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
| MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
| GNU General Public License for more details. |
| |
| You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along |
| with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., |
| 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. |
| |
| Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| |
| If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this |
| when it starts in an interactive mode: |
| |
| Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author |
| Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
| This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
| under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
| |
| The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
| parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may |
| be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be |
| mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
| |
| You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
| school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
| necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
| |
| Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program |
| `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. |

| |
| This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
| proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
| consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
| library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General |
| Public License instead of this License. |
