Buffalo 09101912-0 User Manual

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. 
 

 
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
