Windows

After enabling Windows File Service, you can access your NAS via any Windows operating system (i.e., Windows 7). Windows File Service is also known as CIFS or SAMBA. If you are using Windows Active Directory (hereafter referred to as "AD"), you can add your NAS to your AD domain.

→ Workgroup: This is the workgroup on your local area network that your NAS belongs to.
→ WINS server: Microsoft Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is a NetBIOS name-to-IP-address mapping service. Window users will locate the system more easily on TCP/IP networks if the system has been configured to register with a WINS server.
Max protocol for Windows File Service: Here you can set the highest SMB level that will be supported by your ASUSTOR NAS depending on your network environment.

SMB 3: SMB 3 has been supported since Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. It is the enhanced version of SMB 2.

SMB 2: SMB (Server Message Block) 2 has been supported since Windows Vista and is the enhanced version of SMB. SMB 2 adds the ability to compound multiple SMB actions into a single request to reduce the number of network packets and enhance performance.

Local Master Browser: After enabling this option, your NAS will, from your local area network, collect the names of all other computers in its workgroup.

Reminder: Enabling this feature may prevent your hard disk(s) from going into hibernation.

Allow only NTLMv2 authentication: NTLMv2 stands for NT LAN Manager version 2. When this option is enabled, login to the shared folders by Microsoft Networking will only be allowed using

NTLMv2 authentication. If the option is disabled, NTLM (NT LAN Manager) will be used by default and NTLMv2 can be negotiated by the client. The default setting is disabled.

→ Disable Opportunistic Locking: For networks that require multiple users concurrently accessing the same file such as database, it is suggested to disable Opportunistic Locking. To prevent one file being edited by multiple users simultaneously, such mechanism should be implemented in the document processing software (for example, Microsoft Office programs).
→ Enable debug logging: When this option is enabled, detailed logs will be stored for debugging purposes. Enabling this option affects system performance.

About Passive FTP

Passive mode FTP can be used to overcome the problem of active mode FTP being blocked by firewalls. Passive FTP makes the FTP client establish all connections to the FTP server, as opposed to the web host supplying the return port. Firewalls typically allow passive FTP connections without requiring additional configuration information.

Volume

Note: This function may differ depending on the NAS model in use.

Asustor AS6204RD - Volume - 1

pie | Category | Volume | | -------- | ------ | | Volume 1 | 858.17 GB / 912.58 GB | | RAID level Single : Disk 1 | - | | MyArchive 1 | 6.61 TB / 7.22 TB | | Disk 2 | - |

Storage space on your NAS consists of logical volumes which are made up of a single disk or multiple disks combined together. Here you can set up new storage space for your NAS and, according to your data protection needs, select the most suitable RAID level. In order to maintain data integrity, you may only use internal disks when creating storage space for your NAS. ADM does not support the use of external disks for storage space.

Reminder: The RAID levels that you may employ will depend on your NAS product model and the number of disks that you are using.

When setting up new storage space, ADM offers the following two options:

Quick Setup: You need only specify the requirements for the storage space (i.e., you wish to have a higher level of data protection). Based on this and the number of disks you have, ADM will automatically create a storage volume and select an appropriate RAID level for it.
→ Advanced Setup: Based on the current number of disks, you can manually select a RAID level or set up a spare disk.

Reminder: In order to optimize disk space utilization, it is recommended that you use disks of the same size when creating storage space.

About RAID

In order to provide optimal storage space utilization and data protection, ADM supports multiple RAID levels allowing you to select the appropriate level for your needs. The following volume types levels are all supported by ADM:

Non-RAID Volume Types

Single: Only uses a single disk in the creation of storage space. This configuration does not offer any type of data protection.

JBOD: An acronym for "just a bunch of disks", JBOD uses a combination of two or more disks to create storage space. The total storage capacity is the capacities of all the disks added together. The advantage of this configuration is that it allows you to use different sized disks together and provides a large amount of storage space. The downside is that it does not offer any sort of data protection.

RAID Volume Types

RAID 0: Uses a combination of two or more disks to create storage space. The total storage capacity is the capacities of all the disks added together. The advantage of this configuration is that it allows you to use different sized disks together and provides a large amount of storage space. Also, data in RAID 0 volumes is accessed in parallel which provides improved performance. The downside is that RAID 0 does not offer any sort of data protection.

RAID 1: In RAID 1 your data is written identically on two disks, thereby producing a "mirrored set". Exactly the same data is stored on the two disks at all times. RAID 1 protects your data from loss should one of your disks fail. RAID 1's advantage is that it offers protection for your data by providing data redundancy. The downside of this configuration is that when combining two disks of differing sizes, the total storage space will be equal to the size of the smaller disk. Therefore, you will be unable to use a portion of the larger disk.

Total available storage space = (size of smaller disk) * (1)

RAID 5: Combines three or more disks to create a storage space that is able to support one failed disk. Should one of your disks fail, your data will still be protected from loss. In the event of disk failure, simply replace the failed disk with a new one. The new disk will automatically be accommodated into the RAID 5 configuration. The advantage of using RAID 5 is that it provides data protection through data redundancy. The downside to using RAID 5 is that when combining disks of differing sizes, the total storage space will be calculated based on the size of the smallest disk.

Total available storage space = (size of smallest disk) * (total number of disks - 1)

RAID 6: Combines four of more disks to create a storage space that is able to support two failed disks. Should two of your disks fail, your data will still be protected from loss. In the event of disk failure, simply replace the failed disks with new ones. The new disks will automatically be accommodated into the RAID 6 configuration. The advantage of using RAID 6 is that it is able to provide superior data protection through data redundancy. The downside to using RAID 6 is that when combining disks of differing sizes, the total storage space will be calculated based on the size of the smallest disk.

Total available storage space = (size of smallest disk) * (total number of disks - 2)

RAID 10 (1+0): Combines four or more disk to create a storage space that is able to support multiple failed disks (as long as the failed disks do not belong to the same "mirrored set"). RAID 10 provides the data protection of RAID 1 along with the access efficiency of RAID 0. With respect to data protection, RAID 10 uses the RAID 1 method of having the exact same data written identically on two disks, producing "mirrored sets". These "mirrored sets" are then combined together in a RAID 0 configuration. RAID 10 requires an even number of four or more disks. When combining disks of differing sizes, the total storage space will be calculated based on the size of the smallest disk.

Total available storage space = (size of smallest disk) * (total number of disks / 2)

About SSD Trim

Enable SSD Trim allows the SSDs installed on the NAS to maintain stable read/write performance while simultaneously controlling the frequency of overwriting to specific blocks, extending the life of SSDs.

Note:

• The function is only available on the following models: AS-6/50/51/61/62/70 series.
- When using an SSD in a Single, JBOD, or RAID 0/1/10 volume configuration, the Trim command for it will be enabled automatically.
- The Trim feature under RAID 5 and 6 configurations can only be enabled on the SSDs with DZAT (Deterministic Read Zero after TRIM) support. Please contact your SSD manufacturers for details on DZAT support.

iSCSI

iSCSI is a type of network storage technology that offers high expandability and low implementation costs. Through existing network infrastructure and iSCSI you can use your NAS to expand existing storage space or have it act as a backup destination. iSCSI consists of two ends, a target and an initiator. The initiator is used to search for iSCSI hosts and to set up targets.

→ IQN: IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name) is the unique name for each iSCSI target. This name should not be the same as any of the other target IQNs on other hosts.
→ CHAP Authentication: CHAP authentication can be used to verify a user's identity. If you choose to use CHAP authentication, a CHAP password must first be entered from the initiator for verification before it can connect to the target.

Note: When enabling mutual CHAP authentication, the authentication password used by the server and client cannot be the same.

Mutual CHAP Authentication: Mutual CHAP authentication requires both the target and the initiator to have usernames and passwords. When establishing a connection, the target and the initiator will have to authenticate each other using their respective credentials.
LUN Pool: Here you can check on the status of all iSCSI LUNs and assign corresponding iSCSI targets.
→ iSNS Server: iSNS (Internet Storage Name Service) iSCSI management. Here, you can register iSCSI targets with the iSNS Server, for convenient centralized management.

MyArchive is a function designed especially for data management and sharing, giving you added flexibility when using multiple hard disks for data backup or exchange. When MyArchive hard disks have been inserted into the MyArchive disk bay, you will immediately be able to access the data on the hard disk.

MyArchive Hard Disk: Users will need to first convert hard disks into MyArchive hard disks before being able to use the MyArchive function.
→ File System: Supported file systems are as follows:

EXT4: for use with Linux

NTFS: for use with Windows

HFS+: for use with Mac OS X

→ Alias name: Here you can define tags for MyArchive disks. This allows users to quickly determine the contents of MyArchive disks from within ADM File Explorer when multiple disks are mounted simultaneously.
MyArchive Encryption: Here you can choose whether or not you want to encrypt this MyArchive and whether or not you want to auto-mount it at system startup. Should you choose to encrypt this MyArchive, after the system restarts, you will have to manually enter the password for the MyArchive in order to access it. Encrypted MyArchives are normally used for the storage of critical or confidential data. Should you lose your NAS you still needn't worry about your data leaking out and falling into the wrong hands.

Reminder: The MyArchive encryption function only supports the EXT4 file system.

Access Control

Local Users

Here you can manage (add, edit or remove) the local users in the system and assign their access rights to shared folders.

Usernames support multibyte character sets (such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Cyrillic) and can contain a maximum of 32 characters. Unsupported characters include: # \$ % * + = [ ] | : ; '' ' < > , ? /. Usernames cannot start with @- · and cannot start or end with a blank space. Usernames cannot contain consecutive blank spaces.

Asustor AS6204RD - Local Users - 1

text_image Access Control Local Users Add Edit Remove Local Groups Domain Users Domaini Groups Shared Folders App Privileges Name -- Description Quota Status admin Admin -- Active guest guest -- Active Displaying 1 - 2 of 2 Current Number of Users: 2 Maximum Number of Users: 4096

Reminder: If you only have a few users on the system, you can set up the access rights for each of them one by one.

Within ADM, a single user's access rights with regards to shared folders will depend on the user's existing access rights and on the access rights of the group that the user belongs to. Both sets of access rights will be checked against each other in order to determine priority (please see Appendix 7.1). For convenience, the system provides a preview mode which allows you to first preview any changes that you make to access rights.

Import users: You can batch create user accounts by importing a users list file.

To edit the users list file:

Method 1. Use a Text Editor:

  1. Open a new file with a text editor.
  2. Enter a user's information in the following order and separate them by semicolon (;)

  3. Username

  4. Password
  5. Description
  6. Email
  7. Quota (GB) (this setting will be applied to all existing volumes)
  8. Group (if you want to add the user to multiple groups, use comma to separate the group names)
  9. Go to the next line and repeat step 2 until you have input all the users. Each line indicates one user's information.
  10. Save the file in UTF-8 encoding.

Method 2. Use Microsoft Excel:

  1. Open a new file with Excel.
  2. Enter users' information in the following order and separate them by column in a single row:

  3. Username

  4. Password
  5. Description
  6. Email
  7. Quota (GB) (this setting will be applied to all existing volumes)
  8. Group (if you want to add the user to multiple groups, use comma to separate the group names)

  9. Go to the next row and repeat step 2 until you have input all the users. Each row indicates one user's information.

  10. Save the file in UTF-8 encoding and in csv format.

Note

  • All fields are optional except username and password.
  • Uploaded file cannot exceed 1MB
  • Uploaded file content cannot be null
  • The maximum row numbers in the uploaded file cannot exceed 4000

About Local Users

After initialization, the system will automatically create user accounts for "admin" and "guest". "admin" is the default administrator account and possesses a majority of the access rights. If you wish, you can change the access rights and password for this account. "guest" is the default guest account which is only suitable for use with CIFS/SAMBA and AFP. This account does not possess login and authentication rights, so you cannot change its password.

Reminder: If you have a relatively large number of users on the system, you can conveniently assign access rights by user group instead of assigning access rights for each user one by one.

Within ADM, a single user's access rights with regards to shared folders will depend on the user's existing access rights and on the access rights of the group that the user belongs to. Both sets of access rights will be checked against each other in order to determine priority (please see Appendix 7.1). For convenience, the system provides a preview mode which allows you to first preview any changes that you make to access rights.

About Local Groups

After initialization, the system will automatically create two user groups, "administrators" and "users". "administrators" is the default administrator group. If a user is added to this group, they will possess a majority of the administrator access rights. The "admin" account belongs to the "administrators" group by default and cannot be removed from it.

Convert to the new ASUSTOR encryption mechanism: This option will only appear under "Edit" for encrypted folders that have been encrypted using ASUSTOR's previous encryption mechanism. Converting to the new encryption mechanism will require extra volume space in order to temporarily store all the files originally in the folder. This required space is the total capacity of all the files in the shared folder.
Export/import encrypted key: Selecting "Export encrypted key" will download the encrypted key to your computer. When you need to mount an encrypted folder, you can select "Enter Password" or "Import encrypted key" to mount the shared folder and begin accessing it.

Reminder: You can choose to enable or disable encryption for folders even after they have been created. Encryption is available for use with all shared folders and is not just limited to system default folders. The access speed for encrypted folders will normally be slower than for unencrypted folders.

Warning:

  1. When choosing to use encrypted shared folders, please make it a point to remember your password. Should you forget your password, the data in the shared folder will become unrecoverable.
  2. Older versions of ADM are unable to read the contents of shared folder encrypted using the new encryption mechanism introduced in ADM 2.4.0. If you wish to downgrade your firmware to 2.3.1 or an older version, please first decrypt any shared folders that have been encrypted using the new encryption mechanism before you begin downgrading.

About Shared Folders

After initialization, the system will automatically create a shared folder "public". By default, all users can access the files in this folder. Additionally, the system will automatically create a personal folder for each user (using the user's account name) that by default, can only be accessed by the mentioned user.

About Windows ACL

  1. After enabling Windows ACL for a shared folder, the shared folder and all subfolders and files contained within it can be assigned user or group permissions.
  2. The following shared folders do not support Windows ACL permissions: Home, User Homes, PhotoGallery, Web, Surveillance, MyArchive, Network Recycle Bin, virtual devices, external devices (USB hard drives, optical drives).
  3. After enabling Windows ACL you will be able to use ADM's File Explorer or Microsoft Windows Explorer to configure permissions. After disabling Windows ACL you will only be able to configure permissions from within ADM's File Explorer.
  4. If you enable Windows ACL and then later decide to disable it, all file and folders will be re-assigned with Read & Write permissions for all users.
  5. No matter if you are using Windows ACL or not, users will still require shared folder and file permissions in order to access files.

→ Folder – Access Rights: Shared folders access rights are the first level of access rights that will be examined. You can edit them here.

Backup & Restore

Remote Sync

Remote Sync (Rsync) can allow your NAS to be used as a backup destination or backup source. When using your NAS as a backup source, you can choose to back up the data from your NAS onto another remote ASUSTOR NAS or Rsync compatible server. When your NAS acts as a backup destination, you can back up the data from another remote ASUSTOR NAS or Rsync compatible server onto your NAS.

Asustor AS6204RD - Remote Sync - 1

text_image Backup & Restore Remote Sync FTP Backup Internal Backup External Backup One Touch Backup Cloud Backup System Settings Remote Sync Remote sync (rsync) supports the replication of data between your NAS and other rsync-compatible server(s). Create Back up now Edit Remove info Name Last Backup Next Backup Status SyncBackup1 1/16/2015 AM 10:31 -- Finished

Use encrypted transmission: If you choose to use encrypted transmission, you will have to enter the other host's SSH connection information in addition to your Rsync account information.
Use 1 on 1 folder synchronization: If you decide to use 1 on 1 folder synchronization, all the data in the designated destination folder will be synchronized with the data in your source folder (you may only select one folder). The contents of both folders will be exactly the same. If you decide not to use this feature, all your chosen source folders (you may select multiple folders) will be copied one by one to the destination folder.
Keep extra files at the destination: Once the copying and synchronization of files is completed, the data at the source and destination should be exactly the same. However, sometimes there are extra files present at the destination. These files are only present at the destination but not at the source. By enabling this option, these extra files will be kept at the destination and will remain untouched.
Archive mode (incremental backup): After enabling this feature, successive backup jobs (after your first backup job) will only copy the data that has changed since your last backup job (block level). For example, if you have made some small changes to a 10 MB file, incremental backup will only copy the portions that you have made changes to. This can significantly reduce bandwidth usage.
→ Compress data during the transfer: During backup you can compress the data that is being transferred thereby lowering bandwidth usage.
Keep file metadata: When you enable this option, certain file properties (permissions, extensions, attributes, owner, groups, etc.) will be sent along with the file to the destination.
Support sparse files replication: You will only need to enable this option when the data that you wish to back up contains sparse files. Normally, you will not have to enable this option.
Mission Mode: Sometimes backup jobs may be stopped because of various connection problems with a busy server on the other end. ASUSTOR's Mission Mode option allows you to configure the number of connection attempts and time interval for connection attempts, ensuring for the successful completion of your backup job. This also gives IT administrators a significant amount of flexibility when configuring backup jobs.

Reminder: If you wish to use Remote Sync while using your NAS in conjunction with another remote ASUSTOR NAS, please remember to enable the Rsync server feature on the remote NAS (Services -> Rsync Server). For more information please see 3.2.9 Rsync Server.

The contents of both folders will be exactly the same. If you decide not to use this feature, all your chosen source folders (you may select multiple folders) will be copied one by one to the destination folder.
Preferred file permission for all users at the destination: If the ACL status of the source and destination are not the same, this permission setting will be applied to the files at the destination.
Keep owner: By default, the owner of the files at the destination will be the user who created the backup job. Enabling this option can allow you to maintain the original ownership of the files at the destination.
→ Support sparse files replication: You will only need to enable this option when the data that you wish to back up contains sparse files. Normally, you will not have to enable this option.

External Backup

Here you can choose to backup data from USB or eSATA external hard disks to your NAS or backup data from your NAS to these external hard disks. In addition to supporting two-way backup, this feature also supports scheduled backups, making sure that your data is always backed up.

Mission Mode: Sometimes backup jobs may be stopped because of various connection problems with a busy server on the other end.

One Touch Backup

Note: This function may differ depending on the NAS model in use.

One Touch Backup allows you to preset the function of the USB backup button found on the front of your NAS. Here you can designate your preferred backup direction and directory. After setting up One Touch Backup and plugging in an external USB drive to your NAS, you will only have to push the USB backup button to execute your backup job.

Transfer Modes:

From USB device to NAS: The system will back up the entire contents of the USB drive, based on the existing directory structure, to the NAS folder path that you set.

From NAS to USB device: The system will take the contents of the specified NAS directory and, based on the existing directory structure, back it up to the USB drive's root directory.

→ Backup Methods:

Copy: If you select this method, your system will copy your data from the back up source to the destination, be it the USB device or your NAS. Files or folders of the same name will be replaced and extra files at the destination will be kept. This method is suitable for one time backups.

Synchronization: If you select this method, all the data in the designated destination folder will be synchronized with the data in your source folder. The contents of both folders will be exactly the same. Extra files at the destination will be automatically deleted. This method is suitable for ensuring your most recent data is backed up and for scheduled weekly backups. For example, you may choose to have regularly scheduled backups of your NAS's data so you always keep a USB drive plugged into your NAS for this purpose.

Save in new folder: After selecting this method, you will then have to specify a naming format for the new folder. Every time you run a backup job the system will create a new folder according to this format and then proceed to back up your data into the folder. This method is suitable for those who wish to keep complete copies of each backup job, or those who just wish to back up their regular data from external devices onto their NAS. For example, you may back up the data from your work computer onto your USB drive and then proceed to back up the data from your USB drive onto your NAS at home.

ISO Mounting: You no longer need to burn ISO files onto CDs in order to read them. Now you can select ISO files from your NAS and directly mount them to shared folders ("read only" access rights). You can then use your computer to access and read them. Later, when you are finished with the files, simply unmounts them.
Share Link: You can use Share Links to share files with people who don't have accounts on your NAS. Share Links allow you to instantly create download links for designated files that you want to

share. Expiry dates can also be set for each Share Link that you create, allowing for safe and flexible management.

Single Share Link: The multiple shared files/folders will be listed on one single link.

Separate Share Links: Each selected file/folder will have its own link.

Permissions: Right-clicking on a file or folder and then selecting "Properties" followed by the "Permissions" tab will allow you to configure detailed access permissions for the file or folder.

If the top-level shared folder does not have Windows ACL enabled, the options for configuring permissions will be:

Owner: The owner of the folder or file

Group: The group that has been assigned to the folder or file

Others: All other users on the system or network that are not owners or part of the group that has been assigned to the folder or file.

The permission types that you will be able to configure are: RW (Read & Write), RO (Read Only) and DA (Deny Access).

If the top-level shared folder has Windows ACL enabled, you will be able to configure file permissions for all users and groups. In total, there will be 13 types of configurable permissions. These types of permissions are as follows:

Reminder: An individual file or folder can utilize up to a maximum of 250 Windows ACL permissions (including inherited permissions).

Traverse folder / execute file
List folder / read data
Read attributes
Read extended attributes
Create files / write data
Create folders / append data
Write attributes
Write extended attributes
Delete
Delete subfolders and files
Read permissions
Change permissions
Take ownership

Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent: This option is enabled by default. The system will automatically configure sub folders and files to inherit permissions from the object

above it. Disabling this option will reject all inheritable permissions and only keep newly added permissions.

Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object: Enabling this option will replace all sub folder and file permissions with ones from the parent object.

Effective Permissions: Clicking on this button and then selecting a user from the list will allow you to view the user's effective permissions with regards to the specified folder or file.

External Optical Drive: After connecting an external optical drive (CD, DVD, Blu-ray) to your NAS via USB, you can use File Explorer to directly access any files that you have backed up to optical media and even transfer files from your optical media to your NAS via drag and drop for future access.

9. GNU General Public License

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. http://fsf.org/ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft 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.

Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do; we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

0. Definitions.

"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.

"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.

To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.

A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.

To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.

To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.

An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

1. Source Code.

The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of a work.

A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.

The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.

The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.

The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.

The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.

2. Basic Permissions.

All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.

You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.

Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.

No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.

When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.

4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.

You may convey 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; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.

b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices".

c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.

d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.

6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:

a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.

A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.

A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.

"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.

If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.

Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.

7. Additional Terms.

"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.

When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:

a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.

All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.

If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating

where to find the applicable terms. Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.

8. Termination.

You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third

paragraph of section 11).

However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same

material under section 10.

9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.

You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program.

Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.

You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.

11. Patents.

A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".

A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.

Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.

In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.

If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.

If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.

A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.

Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.

12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.

If 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 convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.

13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a

single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.

14. Revised Versions of this License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU 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 that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.

Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.

15. Disclaimer of Warranty.

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.

16. Limitation of Liability.

IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS 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.

17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.

If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
