1. Introduction to BreadCrumbs
Rajant Corporation’s (http://www.rajant.com) BreadCrumbs utilize the 802.11 wireless networking
standards to form a wireless mesh network. The network is mobile, selfintegrating, selfmeshing, self
healing, and secure. The focus is on flexibility, adaptability, and simplicity.
The BreadCrumb Kinetic Mesh Network is intended for rapid deployment of a broadband wireless
network into a situation or “hot zone.” The network can be deployed as a standalone wireless
network, or bridged to another network (such as the Internet) utilizing available reachback
communication links (such as a DSL, cable, or satellite modem).
BreadCrumbs provide high bandwidth for applications to stream video, audio and data over large
distances. The network traffic can be secured by using different security features available on the
BreadCrumb. This makes the network optimal for tactical deployments as well as emergency response
situations since it offers robustness, stability and ease of setup in mission critical activities.
1.1 What is a BreadCrumb?
A BreadCrumb is an IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) and Ethernet compatible networking device with the ability to
connect to other BreadCrumbs or networking devices to form a BreadCrumb network. The BreadCrumb
is specifically designed for the following scenarios:
z Temporary Wireless Networks: Networks that must be established quickly and with
minimal effort for shortterm use (e.g., a network established to provide a temporary
network in a tactical situation).
z Mobile Wireless Networks: Networks in which the network infrastructure itself is mobile, in
addition to client devices (e.g., a convoy viewing a video stream from a UAV).
z Wireless Network Extension: Networks in which a wireless network must be quickly
extended around or through obstacles that block wireless communications (e.g., urban
canyon networks, tunnels/caves, etc.)
z Wired Network Extension: Networks in which two or more wired LANs at different
locations must be connected wirelessly (e.g., to securely connect combat service support
computers with logistics bases)
z Any Combination of the Above: Most BreadCrumb deployments include elements from
more than one of the above scenarios.
In many cases, BreadCrumbs will perform all of these tasks as shipped with no configuration necessary
at all, providing an instant TAN (Tactical Area Network). Moreover, because BreadCrumbs use industry
standard 802.11 communications, client devices such as laptops, or cell phones require no special
hardware, software, and little or no configuration to access a BreadCrumb network.
Note
Although all BreadCrumbs can be access points, most access points do not provide mesh capability.

o
Traditional access points simply allow wireless devices within range to connect to a wired network;
they do not extend range through other access points.
1.2 The Mesh Network
The key component of a BreadCrumb Mesh network is the ability for BreadCrumbs to connect, or mesh
with each other. While this is generally handled automatically by BreadCrumbs, complex deploymen
scenarios require a basic understanding of how BreadCrumbs establish and maintain a mesh.
1.2.1 Mesh – A Definition
A mesh is a collection of BreadCrumbs (or other network devices), each of which is linked to one o
more other BreadCrumbs. Data can move between BreadCrumbs via these links, possibly passin
through several intermediate BreadCrumbs before arriving at its final destination.
The intelligence of a BreadCrumb network is in how it adapts rapidly to the creation or destruction o
the links in the mesh as devices are moved, switched OFF or ON, blocked by obstructions, interfered
with by other devices, or otherwise affected. This adaptation takes place automatically and
immediately as needed.
1.2.2 BreadCrumb Mesh Connections
In order for two BreadCrumbs to establish a mesh link to each other, they must be set to the sam
radio channel and have the same Network ID. The Network ID is computed from:
z Network Name (simply a configurable name for the network, default is “Rajant Mesh
Network”)
z Network Key (a passphrase or key used for establishing mesh connections and obfuscatin
unencrypted network management traffic)
z Packet cipher setting
z MAC cipher setting
z Perhop verification setting
z Key Sequence Number (defaults to 0)
To modify these settings via BC|Commander, the administrator must be logged in using the Crypt
Officer credentials.
2. Description of a BreadCrumb CX1
)
BreadCrumb CX1 is a portable, wireless device deployable in most environments. It is light in weight,
includes 2 external antennas and is designed to be completely mobile as worn by an individual. The
BreadCrumb CX1 is powered by a removeable rechargeable battery.
2.1 Radios
The BreadCrumb CX1 contains one radio in the 3.6 GHz band.
2.2 Enclosure
The CX1 enclosure has been designed to be splashproof when an etherCON cable is attached and the
battery door is closed. The enclosure dimensions are 133 mm x 128 mm x 59 mm (5.246" x 5.013" x
2.304") including antennas and without the belt clip (the belt clip is installed by the integrator). The
external features of the enclosure are shown in the following figures:
Figure: BreadCrumb CX1 Enclosure Features (Front
Figure: BreadCrumb CX1 Enclosure Features (Back)
2.3 Antenna Connectors
)
The BreadCrumb CX1 provides two antennas located on the top of the enclosure (see the Enclosure Top
figure above). The CX1 offers antenna diversity and MultipleInput and MultipleOutput (MIMO)
features so two antenna ports are utilized by the single radio.
Figure: BreadCrumb CX1 Enclosure (Top
Warning
)
If it is necessary to service the antennas, to avoid possible damage to the BreadCrumb radio(s),
always connect or disconnect external antennas with the power to the BreadCrumb CX1 turned off.
2.4 etherCON Connector
The etherCON connector of the BreadCrumb CX1 provides Ethernet and also outputs 500 mA of current
at the voltage of the removeable rechargeable battery. The etherCON connector’s power is required by
the Green Go beltpack.
Warning
The output power on the CX1 etherCON connector may damage normal Ethernet ports on laptops
and other devices. When connecting the CX1 etherCON to any device other than the Green Go
beltpack, a customized Ethernet cable with no power lines must be used.
Figure: BreadCrumb CX1 Enclosure (Bottom
2.5 Power Requirements
The BreadCrumb CX1 is powered by a removable rechargeable smart lithium ion battery, Rajant part
number 49100009001 Inspired Energy NC2040HD34, Battery, 10.8 V, 3.4 Ah, 37 Wh. The battery body
is keyed to assist in proper insertion. When the battery is inserted into the CX1, the rectangular tab
should be folded away from the battery gauge display on the end of the battery. The battery
compartment door can then be clipped in the closed position.
The BreadCrumb CX1 does not include a battery charger. An external charger is required to charge the
CX1 battery.

2.6 Status LED
The Status LED is capable of displaying warning and error codes, and link states. The LED Mode can be
s
configured in BC|Commander to be ON (switchable), ALERTS ONLY (switchable), OFF (nonswitchable),
or OFF (switchable). When the LED Mode is ON, the BreadCrumb LED alternates between displaying the
link state and any warnings or errors. When the LED Mode is OFF, the BreadCrumb LED does not
display any warnings, errors, or the link state. When the LED Mode is set for ALERTS ONLY, the
BreadCrumb LED alternates between displaying the link state and any warnings or errors only if there
are warnings or errors to report. If there are no warnings or errors, the LED displays nothing.
The Status LED combines the three base colors of red, green and blue to display a broader spectrum of
colors which indicate the current status of a BreadCrumb. The meanings of the color code indicators
are given in the following table.

For a list of error and warning codes refer to Appendix Error and Warning Codes.
3. Appendices
Appendix A: Error and Warning Codes
All possible BreadCrumb error and warning codes are listed below.
A BreadCrumb can have multiple errors or warnings listed in the Alerts tab of BC|Commander but only
one code will be flashed on the BreadCrumb’s status LED. A few codes such as 811 and 335 are non
flashing alerts. For a BreadCrumb with other active alerts, the lowest number error code will flash on
the BreadCrumb’s status LED, and if there are no errors then the lowest number warning will flash.
Numeric error codes are flashed as groups of red (error) or yellow (warning) LED blinks. For example, a
meshed BreadCrumb displays a green LED. If the BreadCrumb starts to display warning 37, the
following would be seen: green (link state), yellow blinks 3 times, short pause, yellow blinks 7 times,
long pause of green (link state), yellow blinks 3 times, short pause, yellow blinks 7 times, etc.

hours to verify compliance with this Agreement. In the event such audit discloses noncompliance with
this Agreement, Customer shall promptly pay to RAJANT the appropriate license fees, plus the
reasonable cost of conducting the audit.
Export, ReExport, Transfer and Use Controls. The Software, Documentation and technology or direct
products thereof (hereafter referred to as Software and Technology), supplied by RAJANT under the
Agreement are subject to export controls under the laws and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”)
and any other applicable countries' laws and regulations. Customer shall comply with such laws and
regulations governing export, reexport, import, transfer and use of RAJANT Software and Technology
and will obtain all required U.S. and local authorizations, permits, or licenses. RAJANT and Customer
each agree to provide the other information, support documents, and assistance as may reasonably be
required by the other in connection with securing authorizations or licenses. Information regarding
compliance with export, reexport, transfer and use.
U.S. Government End User Purchasers. The Software and Documentation qualify as “commercial
items,” as that term is defined at Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of
“commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms
are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with FAR 12.212 and DoD FAR Supp. 227.72021 through 227.7202
4, and notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the contrary in any agreement into
which the Agreement may be incorporated, Customer may provide to Government end user or, if the
Agreement is direct, Government end user will acquire, the Software and Documentation with only
those rights set forth in the Agreement. Use of either the Software or Documentation or both
constitutes agreement by the Government that the Software and Documentation are “commercial
computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” and constitutes acceptance
of the rights and restrictions herein.
Identified Components; Additional Terms. The Software may contain or be delivered with one or more
components, which may include thirdparty components, identified by RAJANT in the Documentation,
readme.txt file, thirdparty clickaccept or elsewhere (e.g. on www.rajant.com) (the “Identified
Component(s)”) as being subject to different license agreement terms, disclaimers of warranties,
limited warranties or other terms and conditions (collectively, “Additional Terms”) than those set forth
herein. You agree to the applicable Additional Terms for any such Identified Component(s).
Limited Warranty
Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein, RAJANT warrants that commencing from the
date of shipment to Customer (but in case of resale by an Approved Source other than RAJANT,
commencing not more than ninety (90) days after original shipment by RAJANT), and continuing for a
period of the longer of (a) ninety (90) days or (b) the warranty period (if any) expressly set forth as
applicable specifically to software in the warranty card accompanying the product of which the
Software is a part (the “Product”) (if any): (a) the media on which the Software is furnished will be free
of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use; and (b) the Software substantially
conforms to the Documentation. The date of shipment of a Product by RAJANT is set forth on the
packaging material in which the Product is shipped. Except for the foregoing, the Software is provided
“AS IS”. This limited warranty extends only to the Software purchased from an Approved Source by a
Customer who is the first registered end user. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire
liability of RAJANT and its suppliers under this limited warranty will be (i) replacement of defective
media and/or (ii) at RAJANT’s option, repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price of the
Software, in both cases subject to the condition that any error or defect constituting a breach of this
limited warranty is reported to the Approved Source supplying the Software to Customer, within the
warranty period. RAJANT or the Approved Source supplying the Software to Customer may, at its
option, require return of the Software and/or Documentation as a condition to the remedy. In no event
does RAJANT warrant that the Software is error free or that Customer will be able to operate the
Software without problems or interruptions. In addition, due to the continual development of new
techniques for intruding upon and attacking networks, RAJANT does not warrant that the Software or
any equipment, system or network on which the Software is used will be free of vulnerability to
intrusion or attack.
No representation or other affirmation of fact, including but not limited to statements regarding
capacity, suitability for use or performance of Software, whether made by Rajant employees or
otherwise, shall be deemed to be a warranty for any purpose or give rise to any liability of Rajant
whatsoever unless contained in this Agreement.
Restrictions. This warranty does not apply if the Software, Product or any other equipment upon which
the Software is authorized to be used (a) has been altered, except by RAJANT or its authorized
representative, (b) has not been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained in accordance with
THE BREADCRUMB WIRELESS LAN UNITS (“BREADCRUMB”), EXCLUSIVE OF THE JR2 BREADCRUMB,
PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED WITH A 1YEAR WARRANTY FROM THE DATE THE
BREADCRUMB IS SHIPPED BY RAJANT AGAINST DEFECTS IN WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIAL UNDER
ORDINARY USE. SUCH WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO THE BREADCRUMB DEVICE AND DOES NOT
EXTEND TO ANY OTHER PRODUCTS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO POWER
SUPPLIES, CABLES, ANTENNAS, AND MOUNTING BRACKETS, EVEN IF PACKAGED OR SOLD WITH THE
BREADCRUMB.
JR2 BREADCRUMBS ARE WARRANTED ONLY AGAINST DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP FOR 90 DAYS WHEN
DELIVERED NEW. RAJANT MAKES NO WARRANTY, AND DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED AT LAW, ON JR2 BREADCRUMBS' FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
MERCHANTABILITY. MANUFACTURER’S RMA POLICIES AND PROCEDURES APPLY.
RAJANT PRODUCTS CLASSIFIED AS ACCESSORY ON MANUFACTURER’S PRICE LIST ARE WARRANTED
AGAINST DEFECTS FOR A PERIOD OF 90 DAYS FROM DATE OF DELIVERY.
THE RAJANT HARDWARE LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY APPLIES WHEN GENUINE RAJANT HARDWARE AND
AUTHORIZED ACCESSORIES ARE USED BY THE INSTALLER AND END USER. USE OF ANY NON
AUTHORIZED ACCESSORIES OR PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT VOIDS THE RAJANT LIMITED HARDWARE
LIMITED WARRANTY.
Unless otherwise listed on this Warranty Schedule, Rajant warrants to the purchaser that the Products
will perform in all material respects in accordance with their written specifications for a period of
ninety (90) days from the date the Products are shipped by Rajant. Reseller and purchaser’s sole and
exclusive right and remedy, and Rajant’s sole and exclusive obligation and liability, with respect to any
breach of the foregoing warranty shall be that, upon receipt by Rajant from Reseller or purchasers of
written notice of the breach in reasonable detail so as to permit Rajant to duplicate the failure to so
perform, which notice is received by Rajant within thirty (30) days after Reseller or purchaser discovers
the failure, Rajant shall – after duplicating the failure – exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to
deliver to Reseller or purchaser a replacement or repaired Product at Rajant’s discretion. Rajant
replacement parts used in such replacement may be new or equivalent to new. Rajant’s obligations
hereunder are conditioned upon the return of the affected Product in accordance with Rajant’s then
current Return Material Authorization (RMA) procedures.
The date of shipment of a Product by Rajant is set forth on the packaging material in which the Product
is shipped. This limited warranty extends only to the original user of the Product.
Replacement, Repair or Refund Procedure for Products Covered by Warranty
Rajant will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship a repaired or replacement part within fifteen
(15) working days after receipt of the RMA request. Actual delivery times may vary depending on
Reseller’s or purchaser’s location.
To Receive a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) Number
Please contact the party from whom you purchased the Product. If you purchased the Product directly
from Rajant, contact your Rajant Sales and Service Representative or email support@rajant.com.

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
IF YOU ACQUIRED THE SOFTWARE IN JAPAN, EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN

AGENTS, SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS, HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF
CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT FULLY APPLY TO YOU.
THE FOREGOING EXCLUSION SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH: (I) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY, (II) FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR (III) RAJANT’s

Customer acknowledges and agrees that RAJANT has set its prices and entered into the Agreement in
reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same
reflect an allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its
essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the
bargain between the parties.
Controlling Law, Jurisdiction. Customer agrees that all sales occurred, and contracts entered into at
Malvern, Pennsylvania, notwithstanding the location of any affiliate or Customer’s location or principal
place of business. All contracts for the license of software and/or purchase of hardware are deemed to
have occurred at Malvern, Pennsylvania and the Agreement and warranties (“Warranties”) are
controlled by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States of
America, notwithstanding any conflicts of law provisions; and the state and federal courts of
Pennsylvania shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim arising under the Agreement or
Warranties.
The parties specifically disclaim the application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek interim injunctive relief in any
court of appropriate jurisdiction with respect to any alleged breach of such party’s intellectual property
or proprietary rights. If any portion hereof is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions of the Agreement and Warranties shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly
provided herein, the Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to
the license of the Software and Documentation and supersedes any conflicting or additional terms
contained in any Purchase Order or elsewhere, all of which terms are excluded. The Agreement has
been written in the English language, and the parties agree that the English version will govern.

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 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
1. 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 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.
1. 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:
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 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.
1. 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 machinereadable 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 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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 royaltyfree 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.
1. 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.
2. 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 FreeSoftware 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.
1. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into 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
1. 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.
2. 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 the
“copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU
General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without
even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not,
write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 021101301,
USA.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive
mode:
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the appropriate parts of the General
Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than ‘show w’ and
‘show c’; they could even be mouseclicks or menu items–whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a
“copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program ‘Gnomovision’ (which makes
passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
signature of Ty Coon, 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 Lesser General Public License
instead of this License.
