[2] IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THE USE OF FREE SOFTWARE COMPONENTS BEING LICENSED UNDER 
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

This Canon's printer driver for Linux provided to you together with this Agreement 
("Product") of Canon Inc. ("Canon") contains the free software components as listed 
in Schedule 2 of Appendix in the Readme file, and which are licensed under GNU General 
Public License version 2 published by the Free Software Foundation ("GPL").

Such free software components are free software; you can redistribute them and/or 
modify them under the terms of GPL.

Such components are distributed in the hope that they will be useful, but WITHOUT 
ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR 
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  You can find full text of GPL later within this notice and

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.  
59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, 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 Library 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. 

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 an idea of what it does.
Copyright (C) yyyy  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., 59 Temple Place - Suite 
330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, 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

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 Library General Public License instead of this License.
