Cisco Cisco MediaSense Release 9.1(1) Licensing Information

 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 

them 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 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.
