END OF SCHEDULE 1

Schedule 2

If this Linksys product contains open source software

licensed under Version 2 of the “GNU General Public

License” then the license terms below in this Schedule 2

will apply to that open source software. The license terms

below in this Schedule 2 are from the public web site at

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991

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

Page 43 / 52

Appendix E

Software License Agreement

Wireless-N Gigabit Router

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

This

License

applies

any

program

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.

You

may

copy

and

distribute

verbatim

copies

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.

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 conditions:

You

must

cause

the

modified

files

carry

prominent notices stating that you changed the

files and the date of any change.

You

must

cause

any

work

that

you

distribute

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.

Page 44 / 52

Appendix E

Software License Agreement

Wireless-N Gigabit Router

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

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

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

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,

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,

Accompany it with the information you received as

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,

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.

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.

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.

Page 45 / 52

Appendix E

Software License Agreement

Wireless-N Gigabit Router

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 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

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.

the

distribution

and/or

use

the

Program

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

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.

you

wish

incorporate

parts

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 WARRANTY

BECAUSE 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.
