Product License Agreement
The parties to this agreement are you, the end customer, and either (i) where you have purchased your Product within the Americas, Fortinet, Inc.,
or (ii) where you have
purchased your Product outside of the Americas, Fortinet Singapore Private Limited (each referred to herein as “Fortinet”) .CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING LEGAL
AGREEMENT (THE OR THIS “AGREEMENT” OR “EULA”). USE OF FORTINET PRODUCT(S) AND ANY UPDATES THERETO, INCLUDING HARDWARE APPLIANCE PRODUCTS,
SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE INCLUDED THEREIN BY FORTINET, AND STAND-ALONE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS SOLD BY FORTINET (TOGETHER, THE “PRODUCTS”) CONSTI-
TUTES ACCEPTANCE BY YOU OF THE PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT. FORTINET SHALL NOT BE BOUND BY ANY ADDITIONAL AND/OR CONFLICTING PROVISIONS IN ANY
ORDER, RELEASE, ACCEPTANCE OR OTHER WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE OR OTHER WRITTEN OR VERBAL COMMUNICATION UNLESS EXPRESSLY AGREED TO IN A WRIT-
ING SIGNED BY THE GENERAL COUNSEL OF FORTINET. YOUR INSTALLATION OR USE OF ANY PRODUCT REPRESENTS AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS HEREIN, AS AMENDED
OR UPDATED FROM TIME TO TIME IN FORTINET’S DISCRETION BY FORTINET PUBLISHING AN AMENDED OR UPDATED VERSION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT START THE INSTALLATION PROCESS OR USE THE PRODUCTS.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY, AND IN NO EVENT LATER THAN FIVE (5) CALENDAR DAYS AFTER YOUR RECEIPT OF THE PRODUCT RETURN THE PRODUCTS TO THE LOCATION
WHERE YOU OBTAINED THEM FOR A FULL REFUND FROM THE PARTNER SELLING TO YOU.
1. License Grant.
This is a license, not a sales agreement, between you and Fortinet.
The term “Software”, as used throughout this Agreement, includes all Fortinet and third party
firmware and software provided to you with, or incorporated into, Fortinet appliances and any stand-alone software provided to you by Fortinet, with the exception of any
open source software contained in Fortinet’s Products which is discussed in detail in section 15 below, and the term “Software” includes any accompanying documenta-
tion, any updates and enhancements of the software or firmware provided to you by Fortinet, at its option.
Fortinet grants to you a non-transferable (except as provided
in section 5 (“Transfer”) and section 15 (“Open Source Software”) below), non-exclusive, revocable (in the event of your failure to comply with these terms or in the event
Fortinet is not properly paid for the applicable Product) license to use the Software solely for your internal business purposes (provided, if a substantial portion of your
business is to provide managed service provider services to your end-customers, you may use the Software embedded in FortiGate and supporting hardware appliances
to provide those services, subject to the other restrictions in this Agreement), in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and subject to any further restric-
tions in Fortinet documentation, and solely on the Fortinet appliance, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or databases, on the single blade, CPU or database on which Fortinet
installed the Software or, for stand-alone Software, solely on a single computer running a validly licensed copy of the operating system for which the Software was
designed, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or databases, on a single blade, CPU or database. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all licenses of Software to
be installed on blades, CPUs or databases are licensed on a per single blade, solely for one blade and not for multiple blades that may be installed in a chassis, per single
CPU or per single database basis, as applicable.
The Software is “in use” on any Fortinet appliances when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e. RAM). You agree that,
except for the limited, specific license rights granted in this section 1, you receive no license rights to the Software.
2. Limitation on Use.
You may not attempt to, and, if you are a corporation, you are responsible to prevent your employees and contractors from attempting to, (a) modify, translate, reverse
engineer, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works based on, sublicense, or distribute the Software; (b) rent or lease any rights in the Software in any form to any
third party or make the Software available or accessible to third parties in any other manner; (c) except as provided in section 5, transfer assign or sublicense right to any
other person or entity, or (d) remove any proprietary notice, labels, or marks on the Software, Products, and containers.
3. Proprietary Rights.
All rights, title, interest, and all copyrights to the Software and any copy made thereof by you and to any Product remain with Fortinet. You acknowledge that no title to the
intellectual property in the Software or other Products is transferred to you and you will not acquire any rights to the Software or other Products except for the specific
license as expressly set forth in section 1 (“License Grant”) above.
4. Term and Termination.
Except for evaluation and beta licenses or other licenses where the term of the license is limited per the evaluation/beta or other agreement or in the ordering docu-
ments, the term of the license is for the duration of Fortinet’s copyright in the Software. Fortinet may terminate this Agreement, and the licenses and other rights herein,
immediately without notice if you breach or fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You agree that, upon such termination, you will cease
using the Software and any Product and either destroy all copies of the Fortinet documentation or return all materials to Fortinet. The provisions of this Agreement, other
than the license granted in section 1 (“License Grant”), shall survive termination.
5. Transfer.
If you are a Fortinet contracted and authorized reseller or distributor of Products, you may transfer (not rent or lease unless specifically agreed to in writing by Fortinet)
the Software to one end user on a permanent basis, provided that: (i) you ensure that your customer and the end user receives a copy of this Agreement, is bound by its
terms and conditions, and, by selling the Product or Software, you hereby agree to enforce the terms in this Agreement against such end user, (ii) you at all times comply
with all applicable United States export control laws and regulations, and (iii) you agree to refund any fees paid to you by an end user who purchased Product(s) from you
but does not agree to the terms contained in this Agreement and therefore wishes to return the Product(s) as provided for in this Agreement.
Further, if you are a non-
authorized reseller of Products, you are not authorized to sell Product(s) or Software, but, regardless, by selling Product(s) or Software, you hereby agree you are bound
by the restrictions and obligations herein and are bound to: (i) ensure that your customer and the end user receive a copy of this Agreement and are bound in full by all
restrictions and obligations herein (ii) enforce the restrictions and obligations in this Agreement against such customer and/or end user, (iii) comply with all applicable
United States export control laws and regulations and all other applicable laws, and (iv) refund any fees paid to you by a customer and/or end user who purchased
Product(s) from you but does not agree to the restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement and therefore wishes to return the Product(s) as provided for in this
Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, distributors, resellers and other Fortinet partners (a) are not agents of Fortinet and (b) are not authorized to bind
Fortinet in any way.
6. Limited Warranty.
Fortinet provides this limited warranty for its product only to the single end-user person or entity that originally purchased the Product from Fortinet or its authorized
reseller or distributor and paid for such Product. The warranty is only valid for Products which are registered on Fortinet’s Support Website: https://support.fortinet.com;
or on the TalkSwitch support website: http://global.talkswitch.com; or such other website as provided by Fortinet.
For the below software warranty to start, registration
must take place within
three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date the Product was originally shipped from Fortinet’s facilities or the warranty is null and void and
will not be honored.
For the hardware warranty, such warranty starts on the earlier of the date of Product registration on Fortinet’s Support Website or ninety (90) days
from the date that the Product was originally shipped from Fortinet’s facilities.
It is the Fortinet distributor’s and reseller’s responsibility to make clear to the end user
the date the product was originally shipped from Fortinet, and it is the end user’s responsibility to understand the original ship date from the party from which the end
user purchased the product.
All warranty claims must be submitted in writing to Fortinet before the expiration of the warranty term or such claims are waived in full,
i.e. ninety (90) days from the earlier of registration or the automatically started term for hardware and spare parts claims and three hundred sixty-five (365) days from
registration within three hundred sixty-five (365) days from shipment for software claims.
Fortinet provides no warranty for any beta, donation or evaluation Products, for
any spare parts not purchased directly from Fortinet by the end-user, for any accessories, or for any stand-alone software.
Fortinet warrants that the hardware portion of the Products, including spare parts unless noted otherwise (“Hardware”) will be free from material defects in workmanship
as compared to the functional specifications for the period set forth as follows and applicable to the Product type (“Hardware Warranty Period”): a three hundred sixty-
five (365) day limited warranty for the Hardware excluding spare parts, and, for spare parts, solely a ninety (90) days limited warranty.
Fortinet’s sole obligation shall
be to repair or replace the defective Hardware at no charge to the original owner. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor or installation costs, and any other
Page 13
Page 17 / 24
cost which are not directly associated to the Product.
Such repair or replacement will be rendered by Fortinet at an authorized Fortinet service facility as determined by
Fortinet. The replacement Hardware need not be new or of an identical make, model, or part; Fortinet may, in its discretion, replace the defective Hardware (or any part
thereof) with any reconditioned Product that Fortinet reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware. The
Hardware Warranty Period for the repaired or replacement Hardware shall be for the greater of the remaining Hardware Warranty Period or ninety days from the delivery
of the repaired or replacement Hardware.
If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material defect is incapable of correction or that it is not practical
to repair or replace defective Hardware, the price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by Fortinet upon return to Fortinet of the
defective Hardware. All Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by Fortinet, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of Fortinet upon
replacement or refund.
Fortinet warrants that the software portion of Hardware Products will substantially conform to Fortinet’s then current functional specifications for the Software, as set
forth in the applicable documentation for a period of ninety (90) days (“Software Warranty Period”), if the Software is properly installed on approved Hardware and oper-
ated as contemplated in its documentation. Fortinet’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the non-conforming Software with software that substantially conforms
to Fortinet’s functional specifications. Except as otherwise agreed by Fortinet in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject
to the terms and conditions of the license granted by Fortinet for the Software. The Software Warranty Period shall extend for an additional ninety (90) days after any
replacement software is delivered. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material non-conformance is incapable of correction or that it is not practical
to repair or replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by Fortinet; provided that
the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to Fortinet. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically
terminates immediately upon refund.
For purpose of the above hardware and software warranties, the term “functional specifications” means solely those specifications
authorized and published by Fortinet that expressly state in such specifications that they are the functional specifications referred to in this section 6 of this Agreement,
and, in the event no such specifications are provided to you with the Software or Hardware, there shall be no warranty on such Software.
7. Disclaimer of Other Warranties and Restrictions.
EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY SPECIFIED IN SECTION 6 ABOVE, THE PRODUCT AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR WARRANTY FOR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED IN ANY TERRITORY WHERE A PRODUCT IS SOLD, THE DURATION OF SUCH
IMPLIED WARRANTY SHALL BE LIMITED TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL SHIPMENT FROM FORTINET. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY COVERED UNDER THE
LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY, SELECTION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT IS WITH THE PURCHASER OF THE
PRODUCT.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE HARDWARE WARRANTY PERIOD DISCUSSED ABOVE DOES NOT APPLY TO CERTAIN FORTINET PROD-
UCTS, INCLUDING FORTIFONE WHICH HAS A NINETY (90) DAY LIMITED WARRANTY AND FORTITOKEN WHICH HAS A 365 DAY WARRANTY FROM THE DATE OF SHIPMENT
FROM FORTINET’S FACILITIES, AND THE SOFTWARE WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO CERTAIN FORTINET PRODUCTS, INCLUDING FORTIGATE-ONE AND VDOM SOFTWARE.
The warranty in Section 6 above does not apply if the Software, Product or any other equipment upon which the Software is authorized to be used (a) has been altered,
except by Fortinet or its authorized representative, (b) has not been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by Fortinet, (c)
has been subjected to abnormal physical or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident; or (d) is licensed for beta, evaluation, donation, testing or demonstration
purposes or for which Fortinet does not charge a purchase price or license fee.
In the case of beta, testing, evaluation, donation or free Software or Product, the end
user acknowledges and agrees that such Software or Product may contain bugs or errors and could cause system failures, data loss and other issues, and the end user
agrees that such Software or Product is provided “as-is” without any warranty whatsoever, and Fortinet disclaims any warranty or liability whatsoever.
An end user’s use
of evaluation or beta Software or Product is limited to thirty (30) days from original shipment unless otherwise agreed in writing by Fortinet.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
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 Sections1 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 distribu-
tion and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
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
Page 15
Page 19 / 24
(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/

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may
be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called “this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions
and data) to form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms.
A “work based on the Library” means either the Library
or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straight-
forwardly into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.)
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
For a library, 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 library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.
The act of running a program using the Library is
not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
writing it).
Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropri-
ately 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 distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. 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 Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, 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) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument
passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility
still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.
If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, 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 Library, 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 Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.
To do this, you must alter all the
notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2 instead of to this License.
(If a newer version than version 2 of
the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.)
Do not make any other change in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative
works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
provided that you 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.
If distribution of 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
satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that

Page 17
uses the Library”.
Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library),
rather than a “work that uses the library”.
The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even
though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.
The threshold for this to be true is not precisely
defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then
the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work.
(Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still
fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables
containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the
Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for your own use and reverse engineering for debug-
ging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this
License.
You must supply a copy of this License.
If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among
them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License.
Also, you must do one of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must
be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work that uses the Library”,
as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library.
(It is un-
derstood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library.
A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the
user’s computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs
one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same
place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the Library” must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it.
However, as a special exception, the materials to be 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. It may happen
that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system.
Such a contradiction means
you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and
distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and
provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities.
This must be distributed under the
terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined
form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License.
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library 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.
9. 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 Library or its deriva-
tive works.
These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library),
you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute,
link with or modify the Library 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 with this License.
11. 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
Library at all.
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library 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 Library.
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.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Library 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.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser 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 Library 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 Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, 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.
15.
The warranty disclaimer contained in Sections 11 and 12 of the preceding GPL License is incorporated herein.
