Everyone  is  permitted  to  copy  and  distribute  verbatim  copies  of  this  license  document,  but changing it is not allowed.
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  p r o t e c t  y o u r  r i g h t s ,  w e  n e e d  t o  m a k e  r e s t r i c t i o n s  t h a t  f o r b i d  a n y o n e  t o  d e n y  y o u 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. 
Terms & conditions for copying, distribution, & 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  disclaimer  of  warranty;  keep  intact  all  the notices  that  refer  to  this  License  and  to  the  absence  of  any  warranty;  and  give  any  other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.\
  You  may  charge  a  fee  for  the  physical  act  of  transferring  a  copy,  and  you  may  at  your 
option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 
2.  You  may  modify  your  copy  or  copies  of  the  Program  or  any  portion  of  it,  thus  forming  a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these condi\
tions:
  a) You  must  cause  the  modified  files  to  carry  prominent  notices  stating  that  you  changed 
the files and the date of any change. 
						

							
WL-520GU/GC Broad Range Wireless Family Router User Manual

R

 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
  c)  If  the  modified  program  normally  reads  commands  interactively  when  run,  you  must 
cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display  an  announcement  including  an  appropriate  copyright  notice  and  a  notice  that  there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the  program  under  these  conditions,  and  telling  the  user  how  to  view  a  copy  of  this License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
  These  requirements  apply  to  the  modified  work  as  a  whole.  If  identifiable  sections  of  that 
work  are  not  derived  from  the  Program,  and  can  be  reasonably  considered  independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole  which  is a work based  on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who w\
rote it. 
  Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written 
entirely  by  you;  rather,  the  intent  is  to  exercise  the  right  to  control  the  distribution  of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
  In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program 
(or  with  a  work  based  on  the  Program)  on  a  volume  of  a  storage  or  distribution  medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code  or  executable  form  under  the  terms  of  Sections  1  and  2  above  provided  that  you also do one of the following:
  a) Accompany  it  with  the  complete  corresponding  machine-readable  source  code,  which 
must  be  distributed  under  the  terms  of  Sections  1  and  2  above  on  a  medium  customarily used for software interchange; or,
  b) Accompany  it  with  a  written  offer,  valid  for  at  least  three  years,  to  give  any  third  party, 
for  a  charge  no  more  than  your  cost  of  physically  performing  source  distribution,  a complete  machine-readable  copy  of  the  corresponding  source  code,  to  be  distributed under  the  terms  of  Sections  1  and  2  above  on  a  medium  customarily  used  for  software interchange; or,
  c )  A c c o m p a n y  i t  w i t h  t h e  i n f o r m a t i o n  y o u  r e c e i v e d  a s  t o  t h e  o f f e r  t o  d i s t r i b u t e 
c o r r e s p o n d i n g  s o u r c e  c o d e .    ( T h i s  a l t e r n a t i v e  i s  a l l o w e d  o n l y  f o r  n o n c o m m e r c i a l distribution  and  only  if  you  received  the  program  in  object  code  or  executable  form  with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
  The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications 
to  it.    For  an  executable  work,  complete  source  code  means  all  the  source  code  for  all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control  compilation  and  installation  of  the  executable.    However,  as  a  special  exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source  or  binary  form)  with  the  major  components  (compiler,  kernel,  and  so  on)  of  the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

R

 If  distribution  of  executable  or  object  code  is  made  by  offering  access  to  copy  from  a designated  place,  then  offering  equivalent  access  to  copy  the  source  code  from  the same  place  counts  as  distribution  of  the  source  code,  even  though  third  parties  are  not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under  this  License.    Any  attempt  otherwise  to  copy,  modify,  sublicense  or  distribute  the Program  is  void,  and  will  automatically  terminate  your  rights  under  this  License.  However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5.  You  are  not  required  to  accept  this  License,  since  you  have  not  signed  it.    However, nothing  else  grants  you  permission  to  modify  or  distribute  the  Program  or  its  derivative works.  These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your  acceptance  of  this  License  to  do  so,  and  all  its  terms  and  conditions  for  copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically  receives  a  license  from  the  original  licensor  to  copy,  distribute  or  modify the  Program  subject  to  these  terms  and  conditions.    You  may  not  impose  any  further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7.  If,  as  a  consequence  of  a  court  judgment  or  allegation  of  patent  infringement  or  for  any other  reason  (not  limited  to  patent  issues),  conditions  are  imposed  on  you  (whether  by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously  your  obligations  under  this  License  and  any  other  pertinent  obligations, then  as  a  consequence  you  may  not  distribute  the  Program  at  all.    For  example,  if  a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the P\
rogram.
  If  any  portion  of  this  section  is  held  invalid  or  unenforceable  under  any  particular 
circumstance,  the  balance  of  the  section  is  intended  to  apply  and  the  section  as  a  whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
  It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property 
right  claims  or  to  contest  validity  of  any  such  claims;  this  section  has  the  sole  purpose of  protecting  the  integrity  of  the  free  software  distribution  system,  which  is  implemented by  public  license  practices.    Many  people  have  made  generous  contributions  to  the  wide range  of  software  distributed  through  that  system  in  reliance  on  consistent  application of  that  system;  it  is  up  to  the  author/donor  to  decide  if  he  or  she  is  willing  to  distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choi\
ce. 
  This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of 
the rest of this License. 
8.  If  the  distribution  and/or  use  of  the  Program  is  restricted  in  certain  countries  either  by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,  so  that  distribution  is  permitted  only  in  or  among  countries  not  thus  excluded.  In  such  case,  this  License  incorporates  the  limitation  as  if  written  in  the  body  of  this License.

9.  The  Free  Software  Foundation  may  publish  revised  and/or  new  versions  of  the  General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
  Each  version  is  given  a  distinguishing  version  number.    If  the  Program  specifies  a 
version  number  of  this  License  which  applies  to  it  and  “any  later  version”,  you  have  the option  of  following  the  terms  and  conditions  either  of  that  version  or  of  any  later  version published  by  the  Free  Software  Foundation.    If  the  Program  does  not  specify  a  version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions  are  different,  write  to  the  author  to  ask  for  permission.    For  software  which  is copyrighted  by  the  Free  Software  Foundation,  write  to  the  Free  Software  Foundation; we  sometimes  make  exceptions  for  this.    Our  decision  will  be  guided  by  the  two  goals of  preserving  the  free  status  of  all  derivatives  of  our  free  software  and  of  promoting  the sharing and reuse of software generally.
