Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 2.1 Licensing Information

 

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.

 

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 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
