Important Notice Concerning the Software
Software License Attached to the Product
The Software embedded in the Product is composed of several independent software
components, and in each of such individual components, a copyright of either Kenwood
or a third party subsists.
The Product uses the software component designated in the End-User License Agreement
that was executed between Kenwood and a third party (hereinafter "EULA").
"EULA" covers those corresponding to free software, and, as a condition of distribution
of the software component in executable format which is based on the license granted
under the GNU General Public License or Lesser General Public License (hereinafter
"GPL/LGPL"), it requires an availability of the source code for the relevant component.
For details of the software component covered by "GPL/LGPL", please visit the following
website:

Please note that we are unable to answer any inquiry relating to the contents, etc. of the
source code.
In addition, the software component of the Product includes the software developed or
created independently by Kenwood, and there exists an ownership of Kenwood in such
software and any accompanying documents, which is protected by the Copyright Law,
any international treaties and other applicable laws.
As to matters concerning the handling of Kenwood software components, please refer
to the "Software License Agreement" attached hereto. Please note that any software
component licensed under "EULA" which is not subject to "GPL/LGPL", and those
developed or created independently by Kenwood shall not be subject to the requirement
for provision of the source code.
The software component distributed under "GPL/LGPL" shall be licensed to users without
charge, and, therefore, no warranty is given for such software component, either express
or implied, within the scope of the applicable laws and regulations.
Unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations or agreed in written
form, none of the owners of the copyright or persons entitled to alter or redistribute
the software component under the said license shall have any liability for any type of
damage or loss resulting from the use of or inability to use such software component. For
further details of the conditions of use of such software component or matters required
to be complied with, please refer to the relevant "GPL/LGPL".
Users are urged to read the details for the relevant license carefully before using the
software component covered by "GPL/LGPL" and embedded in the Product. Since the
terms and conditions of individual licenses are provided by parties other than Kenwood,
the original English version will be included.
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 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 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.
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 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.
