General Information

Your system needs to meet the following hardware and software requirements for the device to function properly.

System requirements

To use the SilverStore 2-Drive NAS, you will require the following components:

PC:

• Intel Pentium III / AMD Duron 900 MHz or higher

• 256 MB RAM (Vista / 7: 512 MB RAM) or higher

• LAN (1000Base-T full duplex connection recommended)

• CD-ROM drive

• Internet connection for online warranty registration, software updates and downloads

• Operating system: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7

Mac:

• PowerPC G4/G5 or Intel Mac

• 256 MB RAM or higher

• LAN (1000Base-T full duplex connection recommended)

• CD-ROM drive

• Internet connection for online warranty registration, software updates and downloads

• Operating system: Mac OS X v10.4 or higher

If you have bought the SilverStore 2-Drive NAS as a kit (no HDD delivered) we advise you to use 2 Disks. In order to enable immediate use, your SilverStore 2-Drive NAS is pre-formatted and configured as RAID 0. You therefore have the maximum storage space available. If you value maximum data security, we recommend the configuration as RAID 1. In the "RAID 1" mode, your hard disks will be mirrored, so that only half the maximum storage space will be available. If one hard disk fails, your data can then be restored from the second hard disk. Further information on hard disk configuration can be found in the "Storage" section of this manual.

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

Precautionary measures

To ensure that your SilverStore 2-Drive NAS functions properly, please take note of the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and damage the SilverStore 2-Drive NAS.

DynDNS

Dynamic Domain Name System gives the ability to provide an official DNS name such as www.yourname.com to the dynamic IP address you have gotten from your ISP.

To do so, you first need to register with a DynDNS service. It updates the modified IP addresses and forwards this to the domain name. This enables you to be reached at one single domain name at any time even if your IP address changes.

We recommend using this feature, otherwise you always need to know the WAN IP of your router to access the SilverStore via FTP from the internet.

Use any FTP client software or open your browser and enter

ftp://USERNAME:USERPASSWORD@YOUR_INTERNET_IP

ftp://USERNAME:USERPASSWORD@YOUR_DYNDNS_HOST.

USERNAME = your username

USERPASSWORD = your user password

YOUR_INTERNET_IP = your WAN IP address

YOUR_DYNDNS_HOST = your Dynamic DNS address

To enable the NFS file service on the SilverStore:

1. Click the Linux Network (NFS) tab.

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

2. Click the Linux Network Service Enable check box. The IP Allowed box appears.

3. Enter the IP filters that are allowed for NFS service, then click Add to add a new IP filter.

Workgroup

Use the Workgroup tab to set the SilverStore to join a workgroup or domain. Both workgroup and domain are ways of grouping computers on the network.

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

Workgroup Mode

By default, the SilverStore is joined to a Workgroup. Unlike workgroups, domains are controlled from a central location (domain controller) and require central authentication before you can join them. Workgroups, in contrast, are much simpler to control. As long as you know the workgroup name, you can add any computer to a workgroup.

To change the SilverStore’s workgroup name:

1. Click the Workgroup tab.

2. Click the Workgroup radio button.

3. In the Workgroup Name box, enter the workgroup name.

4. Click Submit.

Domain Mode

If your network uses a domain (i.e., has Windows Automated Deployment Services), you may wish to connect the SilverStore as a domain member. When configured as a domain member, the SilverStore requests ADS (Automated Deployment Services) to authenticate users. Domain mode has a more restrictive security level, network users must enter appropriate passwords before gaining access to SilverStore.

When joining a domain, SilverStore needs the authorization of the domain’s administrator. You must enter the Domain Name, Administrator and Administrator Password for the authorization.

NOTE: The local user and domain user share same access control if both their usernames are similar (not applicable in FTP service).

To join the SilverStore to a domain:

1. Click the Workgroup tab.

2. Click the Domain Membership radio button.

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

3. In the Domain NetBIOS name box, enter the domain netbios name.

Using the Storage Menu

The Storage menu includes options for individual storage disk configuration and maintenance. It also includes services for volume management, iSCSI device management, external USB storage device management, shared folder management, and it allows you to perform remote RAID configuration options, view detailed USB storage device information and hard disk drive quota settings.

The Storage menu provides access to the following configuration options:

• Disk

• Volume

• iSCSI

• Shares

• USB Disk

• Quota

• Quota Usage

Disk

Use the Disk tab to view detailed information about the hard drives installed on the SilverStore.

You can view hard drive information such as the manufacturer or model name, size of the drive, and the status of the drive. Knowing the drive status allows you to monitor hard drive fault conditions and activity. The drive status that appears in the Status column includes the following status values:

• Good - Indicates the hard drive is accessible and functioning normally.

• Failed - Indicates a fatal error has occurred, such as the hard drive partition has been deleted, corrupted, or damaged caused by virus; or data loss.

• Foreign - Indicates SilverStore has detected an old hard drive or a hard drive containing personal data has been installed. A Clean disk icon appears on disks that display the Foreign status. Unless the perform a clean disk operation, the files in the hard drive cannot be accessed. After performing Clean disk, the hard drive appears on the Disk Management table.

Volume

Use the Volume tab to manage storage volumes on the SilverStore. You can use modify, extend, and recover options to manage the storage volumes. This tab displays all the volumes currently defined on the SilverStore hard drive and provides access to configuration details relating to how disks are partitioned and how RAID volumes are created on these disk partitions. You can use these volumes to create shares at a later time.

The Volume tab includes a table that shows the current volumes available on the SilverStore. This table provides detailed summary of the current volume configuration, such as the name of the volume, description, RAID type (i.e. Stripe, Mirror, or Span), total drive capacity and volume status. A volume is a portion of one or more hard disks that are configured to store data.

The volume status that appears in the Status column includes the following values:

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

• Good - Indicates the volume is accessible and hard drive is functioning normally.

• Failed - Indicates a volume cannot be started automatically, the disk is damaged or the file system is corrupt.

• Resyncing - Occurs when creating a mirror or when a mirrored volume is being resynchronized so both mirrors contain identical data.

• Formatting - Indicates volume is being formatted or system is creating an ext3 (third extended) file system for a Linux operating system

• Degraded - A drive is missing while setting up a mirror configuration.

• Recovering - Occurs when the system detects a spare drive.

You can also use the Volume tab to configure the SATA hard drives into different software RAID types. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disk Drives) refers to an array of multiple independent hard drives that provide high performance and reliability. RAID function depends on the number of drives present and the RAID level you selected.

SilverStore supports the following RAID levels:

• Stripe (RAID 0) - All data are distributed evenly to all existing drives. The two drives work in unison to maximize system performance. However, RAID 0 has high risks of data security. If one drive fails then all data in both drives are lost.

• Mirror (RAID 1) - Two hard drives are required. Data written to one hard drive is simultaneously duplicated to another hard drive. If one drive fails, the other drive continues to function as single drive until the failed drive is replaced. To create a mirror you must select unallocated space on another hard drive and the unallocated space must be the same size or larger than the source drive you want to mirror. Data on a mirrored drive is secured, if one hard drive fails, SilverStore administers a warning and the failed drive must be replaced immediately.

• Span - Also known as JBOD (Just a Bunch of Drives). Two hard drives are required. Several hard drives are configured as a single hard disk expanding the capacity of the hard drive and results in a useable total capacity. However, span does not increase system performance or data security.

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

Default RAID configuration

The default RAID configuration for each hard drive installed on the SilverStore is as follows:

• If only one drive is installed in an empty drive bay, the default RAID configuration is span.

• If two hard drives are installed in the SilverStore, the default RAID configuration is mirror.

To create a volume:

1. Click the Volume tab.

Appendix B: Preparing LAN for use with the SilverStore

This appendix provides a description of how to prepare your computer network for connecting with the SilverStore and the Internet.

Preparing the computer for connection to the SilverStore

To connect to the SilverStore, you have to install TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol) on each of your network computers and select the required network protocol. If a network interface card (NIC) is already installed on your PC, then TCP/IP is probably also already installed.

Configuring Windows XP, Vista/7 to work with the SilverStore

To use your network and SilverStore, you may need to manually install TCP/IP and configure it on every computer in the network. Have your Windows CD at hand before you begin as you may need it when installing TCP/IP.

Installing or scanning Windows

Network components

You need to make sure that an Ethernet adapter (NIC), the TCP/IP protocol and the Client for Microsoft Networks are installed. You do not need to remove any of the other components displayed in the Network Components window. If you need to install the adapter, please refer to the instruction manual that came with the adapter on how to install the device. To install or scan for the other components:

1. Click the 'Start' button on the Windows taskbar, go to 'Settings' and then click 'Control Panel'.

2. Double-click the Network icon and Dial-up Connection (these may also be called Network Connections or Connect Using on the Mac).

3. If your computer has an Ethernet adapter, you should see an entry for a Local Area Connection. Double-click this entry and open the 'Properties' tab.

4. Open the 'General' tab.

5. Check to make sure that 'Client for Microsoft ´Networks' and 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' are displayed on this screen. If they are not, go to 'Install' and add them.

6. Select 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click 'Properties' and check to make sure that 'Obtain an IP address automatically' is enabled.

7. Click 'OK' and close all windows for network and dial-up connections.

8. Make sure that the computer is connected to the SilverStore and check the TCP/IP properties (see below). If you notice any problems, you can restart the computer.

Check the TCP/IP properties

To check the computer's TCP/IP configuration:

1. Click 'Start' in the Windows taskbar and then press 'Run'. The 'Run' screen opens.

2. Enter 'cmd' and then click 'OK'. A command window appears on the screen.

3. Type in ipconfig /all. Your configuration details are displayed and should be as follows if you are using the default settings for TCP/IP recommended by Freecom:

4. The IP is between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254

5. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

6. The standard Gateway is 192.168.1.1

7. Type in exit.

MacOS X

With Macintosh OS 7 and higher, TCP/IP comes preinstalled on the Macintosh. To use DHCP, you need to configure TCP/IP on each Macintosh in the network.

1. Open 'System Preferences' and then 'Network'.

2. If it has not already been selected, click 'Built-in Ethernet' from the configuration list.

3. If this has not been selected, click 'Use DHCP' on the TCP/IP tab.

4. Hit 'Save'.

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

Check the TCP/IP properties (Macintosh)

Once your Macintosh has been configured and restarted, you can check the TCP/IP configuration by once again opening TCP/IP System Preferences. Open Apple's 'System Preferences' and hit 'TCP/IP'.

The overview is refreshed and shows your settings. These should look like this if you are using the default settings for TCP/IP recommended by Freecom:

1. The IP is between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254

2. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

3. The router address is 192.168.1.1

If different values are displayed, restart your Mac. It may be the case that you need to enable another option in the 'Configuration' settings and then return to 'Use a DHCP server'.

Appendix C: Network Basics

This chapter provides an overview of IP networks, routing, and firewalls. This is by no means a complete overview! If you are looking for more information, you can use your favorite search engine to find information on the internet about the internet. Suffice to say, there is plenty.

Basic Router Concepts

Even though the amount of bandwidth in your local area network (LAN) can be provided easily and relatively inexpensively, the price of the connection to the internet is much higher. Because of this expense, Internet access is usually provided by a slower-speed wide-area network (WAN) link such as a cable or DSL modem. To use this WAN link efficiently, a mechanism must be in place for selecting and transmitting only the data traffic meant for the Internet. The function of selecting and forwarding this data is performed by a router.

What is a Router?

A router splits the information meant for your network and meant for other networks, so the available bandwidth is used efficiently. The router sends data based on network layer information in the data and on routing tables maintained by the router. The routing tables are built by gathering and exchanging information with other routers in the network. The router builds up a logical picture of the overall network. Using this information, the router chooses the best path for forwarding network traffic. Routers vary in performance and scale, number of routing protocols supported, and types of physical WAN connection they support.

Routing Information Protocol

One of the protocols used by a router to build and maintain a picture of the network is the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Using RIP, routers periodically update one another and check for changes to add to the routing table.

IP Addresses and the Internet

For a computer to communicate with other computers and Web servers on the Internet, it must have a unique IP address. An IP address (IP stands for Internet Protocol) is a unique number that identifies the location of your computer on a network.

Basically, it works like your street address — as a way to find out exactly where you are and deliver information to you. The IP address is written as 4 numbers between 0 and 255, such as "192.168.0.12".

This serves the same basic function as a street address. It helps you find out where you currently are, while also providing other information. The IP address consists of four numbers between 0 and 255 (e.g., 192.168.0.12).

Domain Name Server

The computer address is difficult to read, which is why a second system is used in the Internet by the name of DNS (Domain Name Server). This translates human-readable names such as www.sharemydisk.com into computer readable names like 82.161.11.206. Each Internet user must have an IP address. You do not need the human-readable name, but it is quite useful if you want other users to find you. A few examples of this include: if you operate a web server or if you want to show your friends images stored on your computer. Many large companies such as ISPs maintain their own DNS server and let their customers use the server to search for addresses.

Internet address classes

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) allocates certain blocks of addresses to organizations. Individual users or small organizations can obtain their addresses either from the IANA or from an Internet service provider (ISP). You can visit the IANA homepage at www.iana.org. The IANA issues different class of IP addresses. There are five standard classes of IP addresses. They are:

Class A

Class A addresses can have up to 16,777,214 hosts on a single network. They use an eight-bit network number and a 24-bit node number. Class A addresses are in this range: 1.x.x.x to 126.x.x.x.

Class B

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

Class B addresses can have up to 65,354 hosts on a network. A Class B address uses a 16-bit network number and a 16-bit node number. Class B addresses are in this range: 128.1.x.x to 191.254.x.x.

Class C

Class C addresses may have up to 254 hosts in one network. Class C addresses use 24 bits for network addresses and eight bits for nodes. They range from 192.0.1x to 223.255.254.x.

Class D

Class D addresses are used for multicasts, in other word messages sent to multiple hosts. Class D addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

Class E

Class E addresses are for experimental purposes. For each unique value in the network portion of the address, the range base address (the host address contains only zeroes) is known as the network address and is not usually assigned to a host. The top address of the range (host address contains only ones) is unassigned. It is instead used as the broadcast address for sending a data packet to all hosts with the same network address simultaneously.

Netmask

The partition scheme that separates the different address classes is used to identify a netmask attached to the IP address. A netmask is a 32-bit quantity that, in logical combination (using an AND operator) with an IP address, forms the network address. The netmasks for Class A, B and C are for instance 255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0 and 255.255.255.0.

The address 192.168.170.237 is a Class C IP address; its network portion is 192.168.170. Combining it with the Class C netmask using an AND operator as shown in this example leaves only the network portion of the address:

11000000 10101000 10101010.11101101 (192.168.170.237)

combined with:

11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 (255.255.255.0)

resulting in:

11000000 10101000 10101010.00000000 (192.168.170.0)

An alternative to dotted decimal representation is to express the netmask as the quantity of ones from left to right. This number is added to the IP address after a slash (/) as '/n'. In this example, the address 192.168.170.237/24 could be written. This indicates that the netmask is 24 ones followed by eight zeroes.

Subnet Addressing

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

You can see that even with a Class C address, there are a large number of hosts per network. It would be a very inefficient use of the amount of IP addresses to supply every LAN with so many IP addresses. A smaller office LANs does not have that many devices. A more efficient technique is known as subnet addressing.

Subnet addressing allows us to split one IP network address into smaller multiple physical networks known as subnetworks. Some of the node numbers are used as a subnet number instead. A Class B address gives us 16 bits of node numbers translating to 64,000 nodes. Most organizations do not use 64,000 nodes, so there are free bits that can be reassigned. Subnet addressing makes use of those bits that are free.

A Class B address can be effectively translated into multiple Class C addresses. For example, the IP address of 172.16.97.235 would be interpreted as IP network address 172.16, subnet number 97, and node number 235. In addition to extending the number of addresses available, subnet addressing provides other benefits. Subnet addressing allows a network manager to construct an address scheme for the network by using different subnets for other geographical locations in the network or for other departments in the organization.

Although the preceding example uses the entire third octet for a subnet address, note that you are not restricted to octet boundaries in subnetting. To create more network numbers, you only need to shift some bits from the host address to the network address. For instance, to partition a Class C network number (192.68.135.0) into two, you shift one bit from the host address to the network address. The new netmask (or subnet mask) is

255.255.255.128. The first subnet has network number 192.68.135.0 with hosts 192.68.135.1

to 129.68.135.126, and the second subnet has network number 192.68.135.128.with hosts

192.68.135.129 to 192.68.135.254.

Attention: The number 192.68.135.127 is not assigned because it is the broadcast address of the first subnet. The number 192.68.135.128 is not assigned because it is the network address of the second subnet.

Freecom strongly recommends that you configure all hosts on a LAN segment to use the same netmask for the following reasons:

• So that hosts recognize local IP broadcast packets

• When a device broadcasts to its segment neighbors, it uses a destination address of the local network address with all ones for the host address. In order for this scheme to work, all devices on the segment must agree on which bits comprise the host address.

• So that a local router or bridge recognizes which addresses are local and which are remote Private IP Addresses

If your local network is not connected to the Internet (for example, when using NAT), you can assign any IP addresses to your computers without problems. But to prevent problems and ease configuration, the IANA has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks:

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

We recommend that you choose your private network number from this range. The DHCP server of the SilverStore is preconfigured to automatically assign private addresses.

For more information about address assignment, refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets, and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) publishes RFCs on its Web site at www.ietf.org.

The IP address shortage

The Internet has grown larger than anyone ever imagined it could be. Although the exact size is unknown, the current estimate is that there are about 100 million hosts and more than 350 million users actively on the Internet. In fact, the rate of growth has been such that the Internet is effectively doubling in size each year.

When IP addressing first came out, everyone thought that there were plenty of addresses to cover any need. Theoretically, you could have 4,294,967,296 unique addresses. The actual number of available addresses is smaller (somewhere between 3.2 and 3.3 billion) because of the way that the addresses are separated into classes, and because some addresses are set aside for multicasting, testing or other special uses.

With the explosion of the Internet and the increase in home networks and business networks, the number of available IP addresses is simply not enough. The obvious solution is to redesign the address format to allow for more possible addresses. This is being developed (called IPv6), but will take many years to implement because it requires modification of the entire infrastructure of the Internet.

There are 2 systems in place now to help bring down the shortage of IP addresses.

DHCP

First, most users today have a dynamically given IP address or DHCP address from their provider. This means that the IP address given to you can change over time. This allows the provider to use the IP address for more then one person or device, since people are often online at different times. Optimal usage of IP addresses is guaranteed.

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

Multiple internal but only one external IP address

A second way to overcome this is to have a single device act on behalf of several other devices. Routers are typical examples. You have several PCs connect to the router, but only the router to the Internet. From an internet perspective, there is only one address. This scheme offers the additional benefit of simple firewall-like protection because the internal LAN addresses are not available to the Internet through the translated connection. All incoming inquiries are filtered out by the router. This filtering can prevent intruders from probing your system. However, using port forwarding, you can allow one PC (for example, a Web server) on your local network to be accessible to outside users.

This works like a receptionist at a large office. Nobody knows your number; they all call the main number of the office and are then forwarded by the receptionist to you.

So how does the receptionist know what number to forward the call too? The caller tells the receptionist what name to look for and the receptionist has a listof names and numbers at her disposal so she can translate the name to the phone extension she needs.

On the Internet, it works exactly the same. NAT (RFC 1631) or Network Address Translation allows a single device, such as a router, to act as an agent between the Internet (or "public network") and a local (or "private") network. This means that only a single, unique IP address is required to represent an entire group of computers.

Network Address Translation

When you visit a website via your computer, your router, or more specifically your NAT, remembers which computer on the internal network asked for the information. When the information (in this case the website you asked for) comes back, the router knows which computer on the internal network to send the information to. This is Network Address Translation or NAT.

Developed by Cisco, Network Address Translation is used by a device (firewall, router or computer) that sits between an internal network and the rest of the world. For more information about IP address translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT).

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

Hosting a server

What If I want to host a server?

For others to be able to view your pictures on your computer, you need to run some type of service or server. A web server such as apache will allow others to securely watch the pictures or files on your site. But how does the NAT of your router know this time to which computer to forward the information?

Since the request comes from the internet, most routers are setup to disallow any traffic going into the internal network. (Firewall protection) In this case, since we want people to be able to see our pictures, we want the router to forward this information. We have to tell the router to do this.

Someone calling from the internet asks your router for a certain "port". This is the same as someone calling the receptionist and requesting a certain person by name. Ports are displayed as numbers but invariably map to pre described services. For instance, when someone requests a web page, they always ask for the service on port 80, the web server. Through NAT, it is possible to "map" a certain request for a service (a request for a port) to a certain PC on the internal network.

MAC Addresses and Address Resolution Protocol

An IP address alone cannot be used to deliver data from one LAN device to another. To send data between LAN devices, you must convert the IP address of the destination device to its media access control (MAC) address. Each device on an Ethernet network has a unique MAC address, which is a 48-bit number assigned to each device by the manufacturer. The technique that associates the IP address with a MAC address is known as address resolution. Internet Protocol uses the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to resolve MAC addresses. If a device sends data to another station on the network and the destination MAC address is not yet recorded, ARP is used. An ARP request is broadcast onto the network. All stations on the network receive and read the request. The destination IP address for the chosen station is included as part of the message so that only the station with this IP address responds to the ARP request. All other stations discard the request.

The station with the correct IP address responds with its own MAC address directly to the sending device. The receiving station provides the transmitting station with the required destination MAC address. The IP address data and MAC address data for each station are held in an ARP table. The next time data is sent, the address can be obtained from the address information in the table.

FREECOM SILVER STORE 2-DRIVE NAS

Ethernet Cabling

There are two different types of cabling for Ethernet networks. Originally they used thick or thin coaxial cable, but most installations currently use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. The UTP cable contains eight conductors, arranged in four twisted pairs, and terminated with an RJ45 type connector. There are 2 types of RJ-45 cables available today, the Media Dependent Interface (MDI) cable and the Media Dependent Interface - Crossover (MDI-X) cable. The first cable is used to connect routers to PCs and the second to connect PCs directly to PCs. The sent and receive wires are switched from beginning to end in the crossover cables. Some Ethernet switch products, such as the SilverStore, are able to sense the polarity of a connection and automatically adapt to the proper cabling type.

Cable Quality

A twisted pair Ethernet network operating at 10 Mbits/second (10BASE-T) will often tolerate low quality cables, but at 100 Mbits/second (10BASE-Tx) the cable must be rated as Category 5, or "Cat 5", by the Electronic Industry Association (EIA). This rating will be printed on the cable jacket. A Category 5 cable will meet specified requirements regarding loss and crosstalk. In addition, there are restrictions on maximum cable length for both 10 and 100 Mbits/second networks.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 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 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 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 n o t 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.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 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 th e term „modification“.) Each licensee is addressed as „you“. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not cov ered by th is 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 con d itions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 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 wrote it. Thus, it is not the in tent 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 machinereadable 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) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for non commercial 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 f

or all modules it cont

ains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special ex ception, 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.

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 y ou, 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 an y 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 o r 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.

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 th e 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 di

fferent, write to th

e 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

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, 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.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR 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.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least th e „copyright“ line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

1. April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The GNU G

eneral Public License is a free, copyle

ft license for software and other kinds of

works.

The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. 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 them 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 prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. 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.

Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.

For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.

Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
