Appendix F: Software End User License Agreement

High Performance 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 .
