Appendix E: Software End User License Agreement

Wireless-N Router

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 .
