Software License Agreement

Wireless-N USB Network Adapter

Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking

b)

with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that

(1) uses at run time a copy of the library already

present on the user’s computer system, rather than

copying library functions into the executable, and

(2) will operate properly with a modified version of

the library, if the user installs one, as long as the

modified version is interface-compatible with the

version that the work was made with.
Accompany the work with a written offer, valid

c)

for at least three years, to give the same user the

materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a

charge no more than the cost of performing this

distribution.
If distribution of the work is made by offering access

d)

to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent

access to copy the above specified materials from

the same place.
Verify that the user has already received a copy of

e)

these materials or that you have already sent this

user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the “work that

uses the Library” must include any data and utility

programs needed for reproducing the executable from

it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be

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.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the

license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that

do not normally accompany the operating system.

Such a contradiction means you cannot use both

them and the Library together in an executable that

you distribute.
You may place library facilities that are a work based

7.

on the Library side-by-side in a single library together

with other library facilities not covered by this License,

and distribute such a combined library, provided that

the separate distribution of the work based on the

Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise

permitted, and provided that you do these two

things:

Accompany the combined library with a copy of the

a)

same work based on the Library, uncombined with

any other library facilities. This must be distributed

under the terms of the Sections above.
Give prominent notice with the combined library of

b)

the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library,

and explaining where to find the accompanying

uncombined form of the same work.

You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or

8.

distribute the Library except as expressly provided

under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,

modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library

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.
You are not required to accept this License, since you

9.

have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you

permission to modify or distribute the Library or its

derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if

you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying

or distributing the Library (or any work based on the

Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License

to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,

distributing or modifying the Library or works based

on it.
Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work

10.

based on the Library), the recipient automatically

receives a license from the original licensor to copy,

distribute, link with or modify the Library 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 with this

License.
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation

11.

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 Library at all. For example, if a patent

license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of

the Library 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 Library.
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
