Notice regarding software that uses the GNU GPL List of packages (GNU GPLv2) linux kernel (GNU LGPLv2.1) DirectFB About the licensing of software used in this product The software included in this product is comprised of multiple discrete software applications, and the copyrights of each of these belong to various third parties. This product includes software covered by end-user license agreements (hereafter, "EULA") stipulated by third parties. Among these is the GNU General Public License (hereafter, "GPL") for free executable software applications. As a condition for the distribution of software covered by the GPL, the source code for such software must be made available. If you wish to obtain the source code for such software, you may do so by accessing the following URL and filling out a registration form. http://www.teac.co.jp/support/opensource/index.html Please understand that we are unable to respond to questions about the source code contents and similar matters. Source code will not be provided for software covered by EULAs other than the GPL. Software distributed in accordance with the GPL allows customers to use it without charge, but, to the extent of applicable laws, no explicit or implicit guarantees are provided for such software. With the exceptions of provisions of applicable laws and written agreements, the copyright holders and those who change and redistribute such software with the permission described above will bear no responsibility for any loss caused by the use of or the inability to use such software. Please read the GPL for details about, for example, conditions for use and provisions that must be followed regarding such software. Before using software or software components that are included in this product and subject to the GPL, please read the following GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE carefully. Moreover, since the provisions of this license are set by a third party, we provide it in its original language (English). GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 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. 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 appro- TASCAM BD-MP1 45
