Information about the open-source software used:
On FANTEC devices open-source software can be used, that can–entirely or partly- be subject to different open-sour-
ce license models, mostly to the general public license version 3 (GPLv3). If as part of the license the condition is
formulated, that the source code must be disclosed, you can request the source code of the software deployed on
this device from us; this offer applies to everyone. We send you the source code on CD-ROM at cost price within
three years after the „end-of-sales“ or delivery of the device respectively or at your choice send you a download
link, under which you can obtain the software source code. Please send a request to

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 soft-
ware 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 cer- tain 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 redistribu-
tors 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.
