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 copies of this

license document, but changing it is not allowed.

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.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,

DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin S
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”.

Open Source License Report on the Product

The software included in this product contains copyrighted software that is licensed under the GPL/LGPL.

GPL Software : linux kernel, busybox, cdrtools, dvd+rw-tools, smartctl, uboot, bash, udev, sysklogd

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,
