+
+IV. GPL2
+The Linux Kernel software program of the LiquidIO Software Package is licensed
+under the GPL2, and the terms of which are as follows:
+
+GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+Version 2, June 1991
+Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copiesof this license
+document, but changing it is not allowed.
+i. Preamble
+The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
+and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
+guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
+software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most
+of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
+authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
+covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)
+You can apply it to your programs, too.
+When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
+Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom
+to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
+ that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
+the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can
+ do these things.
+To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
+you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
+translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
+software, or if you modify it.
+For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a
+ fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make
+sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them
+these terms so they know their rights.
+We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
+and/or modify the software.
+Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
+everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software.
+If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
+recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems
+ introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
+Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish
+to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually
+obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
+To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
+everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
+follow.
+ii. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
+placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
+this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or
+ work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
+derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
+Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
+translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
+limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
+this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
+restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
+constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
+running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
+you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
+ publish on each copy an 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 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.
+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 machine-readable copy of the corresponding
+source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
+medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+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.
+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 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.
+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 the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
+If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
+choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
+10. 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
+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
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
+
+ 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 02110-1301 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:
+
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+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
+mouse-clicks 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.
