Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 2.1 Lizenzinformationen

 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you                

these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have                

certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if                

you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.                

               

 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether                

gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same                

freedoms that you received.  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.                

               

 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:                

(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License                

giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.                

               

 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains                

that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and                

authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as                

changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to                

authors of previous versions.                

               

 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run                

modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer                

can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of                

protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic                

pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to                

use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we                

have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those                

products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we                

stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions                

of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.                

               

 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.                

States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of                

software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to                

avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could                

make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that                

patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.                

               

 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and                

modification follow.                

               

                      TERMS AND CONDITIONS                

               

 0. Definitions.                

               

 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
