Appendix E

Software License Agreement

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 Library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3.You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.

4.You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you 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.

If distribution of 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 satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5.A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”. The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

6.As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer’s own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:

a)Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work that uses the Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)

EC1000 specifications

The Linksys EC1000 is a high-performance Ethernet switch designed to enhance networking capabilities for both home and small office environments. With its robust features and advanced technology, the EC1000 aims to provide reliable connectivity and efficient data transfer across devices.

One of the standout features of the EC1000 is its ability to support Gigabit Ethernet, which allows for data transfer speeds of up to 1000 Mbps. This means that users can experience seamless streaming, fast file transfers, and smooth online gaming without annoying lags. The switch typically comes with multiple ports, often up to 8 or more, providing ample connectivity options for various devices, such as computers, printers, and smart TVs.

The Linksys EC1000 is equipped with auto-sensing capabilities, which enable it to detect the speed of connected devices and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimized performance for each connected device, eliminating potential bottlenecks and allowing for efficient bandwidth utilization. This plug-and-play design makes setting up the switch effortless, as no additional configuration is necessary.

In terms of build quality and design, the EC1000 features a compact and durable casing that can be easily placed on a desk or mounted in a network rack. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it an ideal choice for noise-sensitive environments.

The EC1000 also incorporates advanced technologies such as IEEE 802.3x flow control, which minimizes packet loss during data transmission, ensuring a stable connection. Additionally, it supports VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) configurations, allowing users to segment network traffic for improved security and performance.

With its combination of performance, ease of use, and advanced networking features, the Linksys EC1000 is an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade their networking infrastructure. Whether for a home office or a small business, this Ethernet switch provides the necessary tools to ensure fast, reliable, and efficient connectivity across multiple devices. Perfect for users demanding high-performance networking, the EC1000 stands out as a valuable addition to any network setup.
