FLEX-6000 Signature Series – Maestro User Guide

42.2 GPL INFORMATION

Portions of the software contained within the FLEX-6000 Signature Series transceiver are covered under

the GNU General Public License (GPL).

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA

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 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.
