RT-N13U Appendices

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to

share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended

to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the

software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the

Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors

commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered

by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your

programs, too.

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 this service 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 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

modied 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

reect 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 modication follow.
