A4. InterWorking Labs meticulously observes and honors all intellectual property agreements and contracts, including the GPL v2 and v3 license agreement governing the use of Netem. InterWorking Labs has not modified netem or the Linux kernel; Mini Maxwell is a collection of web pages, scripts, and cgi-bin programs that make use of the unmodified netem services. Mini Maxwell uses the netem kernel module without violating the GPL v2 license. Many commercial products, like Mini Maxwell, operate on freely available, open source, operating systems. This is permissible under the GPL v2 license agreement.
