Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 2.1 Licensing Information

 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid   

anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.   

These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you   

distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.   

  

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

gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that   

you have.  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.   

  

 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and   

(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,   

distribute and/or modify the software.   

  

 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain   

that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free   

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.   

  

    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE   

  TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION   

  

 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
