Chapter 2 Wireless Security Checklist2RangePlus Wireless USB Network AdapterChapter 2:  Wireless Security ChecklistWireless  networks are convenient  and  easy to install, so homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by sending  information  over  radio  waves,  it  can  be  more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network. Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals from your wireless network can also be intercepted. Since you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting to your wireless network, you need to take some additional steps to keep your network secure. 1.  Change the default wireless    network name or SSIDWireless  devices  have  a  default  wireless  network  name or  Service  Set  Identifier  (SSID)  set  by  the  factory.  This is  the  name  of  your  wireless  network,  and  can  be  up to  32  characters  in  length.  Linksys  wireless  products use  linksys  as  the  default  wireless  network  name.  You should change the wireless network name to something unique  to distinguish  your wireless  network from  other wireless networks that may exist around you, but do not use  personal  information  (such  as  your  Social  Security number)  because  this  information  may  be  available  for anyone to see when browsing for wireless networks. 2.  Change the default passwordFor wireless products such as access points, routers, and gateways,  you  will  be  asked  for  a  password  when  you want to change their settings. These devices have a default password set by the factory. The Linksys default password is  admin.  Hackers  know  these  defaults  and  may  try  to use them to access your wireless device and change your network  settings. To  thwart  any  unauthorized  changes, customize  the  device’s  password  so  it  will  be  hard  to guess.3.  Enable MAC address filteringLinksys  routers  and  gateways  give  you  the  ability  to enable Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering. The MAC  address  is  a  unique  series  of  numbers  and  letters assigned to every networking device. With MAC address filtering  enabled,  wireless  network  access  is  provided solely  for  wireless  devices  with  specific  MAC  addresses. For  example,  you  can  specify  the  MAC  address  of  each computer in your home so that only those computers can access your wireless network. 4.  Enable encryptionEncryption  protects  data  transmitted  over  a  wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected  Access (WPA/WPA2)  and Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication.A  network  encrypted  with  WPA/WPA2  is  more  secure than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2 uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as  it  passes  over  the  airwaves,  you  should  enable  the highest  level  of  encryption  supported  by  your  network equipment. WEP  is  an  older  encryption  standard  and  may  be  the only option available on some older devices that do not support WPA.General Network Security GuidelinesWireless  network  security  is  useless  if  the  underlying network is not secure. Password protect  all computers on  the network  and  •individually password protect sensitive files.Change passwords on a regular basis. •Install  anti-virus  software  and  personal  firewall  •software.Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications  •may  open  file  sharing  without  your  consent  and/or knowledge.Additional Security TipsKeep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away  •from exterior walls and windows.Turn  wireless  routers,  access  points,  or  gateways  •off  when  they  are  not  being  used  (at  night,  during vacations).Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters  •in length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can be found in the dictionary. WEB:  For  more  information  on  wireless security, visit www.linksys.com/security

The license terms below in this Schedule 2 are from the public web site at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.htmlGNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSEVersion 2, June 1991 Copyright © 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51  Franklin  Street,  Fifth  Floor,  Boston,  MA  02110-1301, USAEveryone  is  permitted  to  copy  and  distribute  verbatim copies  of  this  license  document,  but  changing  it  is  not allowed.PreambleThe licenses for most software are designed to take away your  freedom  to  share  and  change  it.  By  contrast,  the
21Appendix E Software License AgreementRangePlus Wireless USB Network AdapterGNU 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  Lesser  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 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 MODIFICATIONThis  License  applies  to  any  program  or  other  work 0. 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. You  may  copy  and distribute verbatim  copies  of the 1. 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. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program 2. 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 conditions: You  must  cause  the  modified  files  to  carry a. prominent  notices  stating  that  you  changed  the files and the date of any change. You  must  cause  any  work  that  you  distribute  or b. 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.
22Appendix E Software License AgreementRangePlus Wireless USB Network AdapterIf the modified program normally reads commands c. 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 wrote 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. You  may  copy  and  distribute  the  Program  (or  a 3. 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: Accompany  it  with  the  complete  corresponding a. 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, Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least b. 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, Accompany it with the information you received as c. to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial 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. 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. You  may  not  copy,  modify,  sublicense,  or  distribute 4. 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. You are not required to accept this License, since you 5. 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. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work 6. 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.
23Appendix E Software License AgreementRangePlus Wireless USB Network AdapterIf, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation 7. 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 Program. 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 choice. This  section  is  intended  to  make  thoroughly  clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. If  the  distribution  and/or  use  of  the  Program  is 8. 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. The  Free  Software  Foundation  may  publish  revised 9. 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. If  you  wish to incorporate parts  of  the Program  into 10. 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. NO WARRANTYBECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, 11. THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT  PERMITTED  BY  APPLICABLE  LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS  AND/OR  OTHER  PARTIES  PROVIDE  THE PROGRAM  “AS  IS”  WITHOUT  WARRANTY  OF  ANY KIND,  EITHER  EXPRESSED  OR  IMPLIED,  INCLUDING, BUT  NOT  LIMITED TO, THE  IMPLIED  WARRANTIES  OF MERCHANTABILITY  AND  FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE  OF  THE  PROGRAM  IS  WITH  YOU. SHOULD  THE  PROGRAM  PROVE  DEFECTIVE,  YOU ASSUME  THE  COST  OF  ALL  NECESSARY  SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR 12. AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR  ANY  OTHER  PARTY  WHO  MAY  MODIFY  AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE  LIABLE  TO  YOU  FOR  DAMAGES,  INCLUDING  ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY  HAS  BEEN  ADVISED  OF  THE  POSSIBILITY  OF SUCH DAMAGES.

24Appendix E Software License AgreementRangePlus Wireless USB Network AdapterGNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSEVersion 2.1, February 1999Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51  Franklin  Street,  Fifth  Floor,  Boston,  MA  02110-1301, USAEveryone  is  permitted  to  copy  and  distribute  verbatim copies  of  this  license  document,  but  changing  it  is  not allowed.[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]PreambleThe licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General  Public  Licenses are intended  to  guarantee your freedom  to  share  and  change  free  software—to  make sure the software is free for all its users.This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages—typically libraries—of  the  Free  Software  Foundation  and  other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.When  we  speak  of  free  software,  we  are  referring  to freedom  of  use,  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 and use pieces  of it  in  new free  programs;  and  that you are informed that you can do these things.To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to  surrender these  rights. These restrictions  translate  to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.For  example,  if  you  distribute  copies  of  the  library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.We  protect  your  rights  with  a  two-step  method:  (1)  we copyright  the  library,  and  (2)  we  offer  you  this  license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library  is modified by someone  else and passed on,  the recipients  should  know  that  what  they  have  is  not  the original  version,  so that  the  original  author’s  reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.Finally,  software  patents  pose  a  constant  threat  to  the existence  of  any  free  program.  We  wish  to  make  sure that  a  company  cannot  effectively  restrict  the  users  of a  free  program  by  obtaining a  restrictive license  from  a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a  version  of the library must  be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated  libraries,  and  is  quite  different  from  the ordinary  General  Public  License. We  use  this  license  for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.When  a  program  is  linked  with  a  library,  whether statically  or  using  a  shared  library,  the  combination  of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of  the  original  library.  The  ordinary  General  Public License therefore permits  such  linking  only if the  entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.We  call  this  license  the “Lesser”  General  Public  License because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than the  ordinary  General  Public  License.  It  also  provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing  non-free  programs. These disadvantages  are the  reason  we  use  the  ordinary  General  Public  License for  many  libraries.  However,  the  Lesser  license  provides advantages in certain special circumstances.For  example,  on  rare  occasions,  there  may  be  a  special need  to  encourage the  widest possible  use of  a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.Although  the  Lesser  General  Public  License  is  Less protective of the users’ freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the
25Appendix E Software License AgreementRangePlus Wireless USB Network Adapterfreedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and  modification  follow.  Pay  close  attention  to  the difference  between a “work based  on the  library”  and a “work  that  uses  the  library”.  The  former  contains  code derived  from  the  library,  whereas  the  latter  must  be combined with the library in order to run.GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSETERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATIONThis License Agreement applies to any software library 0. or other program which contains a  notice  placed  by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it  may  be  distributed under  the  terms  of  this Lesser General Public License (also called “this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”. A “library”  means  a  collection  of  software  functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A “work based on the Library” means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a  work containing  the  Library  or a  portion  of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.)“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, 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 library.Activities  other  than  copying,  distribution  and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not  restricted, and output from such a program  is  covered  only  if  its  contents  constitute  a work  based  on  the  Library  (independent  of  the  use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.You  may  copy  and distribute verbatim  copies  of the 1. Library’s  complete  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 distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.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.You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or 2. any portion  of  it, thus  forming  a work based  on the Library,  and  copy  and  distribute  such  modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:The  modified  work  must  itself  be  a  software a) library.You  must  cause  the  files  modified  to  carry b) prominent  notices  stating  that  you  changed  the files and the date of any change.You  must  cause  the  whole  of  the  work  to  be c) licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function d) or a table of data to be supplied by an application program  that  uses  the  facility,  other  than  as  an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function  or  table,  the  facility  still  operates,  and performs  whatever  part  of  its  purpose  remains meaningful.(For  example,  a  function  in  a  library  to  compute square  roots  has  a  purpose  that  is  entirely  well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection  2d  requires  that  any  application-supplied  function  or  table  used  by  this  function must be optional: if the application does not supply it,  the  square  root  function  must  still  compute square roots.)These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived  from  the  Library,  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 Library, 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 wrote it.
26Appendix E Software License AgreementRangePlus Wireless USB Network AdapterThus,  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 Library.In  addition,  mere  aggregation  of  another  work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a  work  based  on  the  Library)  on  a  volume  of  a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU 3. General  Public  License  instead  of  this  License  to  a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to  the  ordinary  GNU  General  Public  License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has  appeared,  then  you  can  specify  that  version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.Once  this  change  is  made  in  a  given  copy,  it  is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public  License  applies  to  all  subsequent  copies  and derivative works made from that copy.This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion 4. or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable  form  under  the  terms  of  Sections  1  and 2  above  provided  that  you  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.If  distribution  of  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  satisfies  the  requirement  to  distribute the  source  code,  even  though  third  parties  are  not compelled to copy the source along with the  object code.A program that contains no derivative of any portion 5. of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a  derivative  work  of  the  Library,  and  therefore  falls outside the scope of this License.However,  linking  a “work  that  uses  the  Library”  with the Library  creates an executable that is a derivative of  the  Library  (because  it  contains  portions  of  the Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”. The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though  the source code  is  not. Whether  this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms  of  Section  6.  Any  executables  containing  that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.As an exception to the Sections above, you may also 6. combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided  that the  terms  permit modification of  the work  for  the  customer’s own  use and  reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.You  must  give  prominent  notice  with  each  copy  of the  work  that  the  Library  is  used  in  it  and  that  the Library  and  its  use  are  covered  by  this  License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:Accompany  the  work  with  the  complete a) corresponding  machine-readable  source  code for  the  Library  including  whatever  changes  were used  in  the  work  (which  must  be  distributed under  Sections  1  and  2  above);  and,  if  the  work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete  machine-readable  “work  that  uses  the Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that the  user  can  modify  the  Library  and  then  relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified  Library.  (It  is  understood  that  the  user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
27Appendix E Software License AgreementRangePlus Wireless USB Network AdapterUse a suitable shared library mechanism for linking b) with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1)  uses  at run  time a  copy  of the  library  already present on the user’s computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if  the user installs one, as  long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.Accompany  the  work  with  a  written  offer,  valid c) for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified  in Subsection  6a, above,  for  a charge no more than the cost  of  performing this distribution.If distribution of the work is made by offering access d) to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.Verify that the user has already received a copy of e) these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses  the  Library”  must  include  any  data  and  utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be 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.It  may  happen that this requirement contradicts the license  restrictions  of other  proprietary  libraries that do  not  normally  accompany  the  operating  system. Such  a  contradiction  means  you  cannot  use  both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.You may place library facilities that are a work based 7. on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the  separate  distribution  of  the  work  based  on  the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted,  and  provided  that  you  do  these  two things:Accompany the combined library with a copy of the a) same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.Give prominent notice with the combined library of b) the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and  explaining  where  to  find  the  accompanying uncombined form of the same work.You  may  not  copy,  modify,  sublicense,  link  with,  or 8. distribute  the  Library  except  as  expressly  provided under  this  License.  Any  attempt  otherwise  to  copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library 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.You are not required to accept this License, since you 9. have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission  to  modify  or  distribute  the  Library  or  its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.Each  time  you  redistribute  the  Library  (or  any  work 10. based  on  the  Library),  the  recipient  automatically receives  a  license from  the original  licensor to  copy, distribute,  link  with  or  modify  the  Library  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  with  this License.If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation 11. 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 Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library 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 Library.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
28Appendix E Software License AgreementRangePlus Wireless USB Network Adaptersoftware  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 choice.This  section  is  intended  to  make  thoroughly  clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted 12. in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,  the  original  copyright  holder  who  places the  Library  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.The  Free  Software  Foundation  may  publish  revised 13. and/or  new  versions  of  the  Lesser  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 Library 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 Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.If  you  wish  to  incorporate  parts  of  the  Library  into 14. other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, 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.NO WARRANTYBECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, 15.
