Fortinet warrants that the hardware portion of the Products (“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) a three hundred sixty-five (365) day limited warranty for the Hardware products; (b) for FortiAP, the warranty herein shall last from the start of the warranty period as discussed above until five (5) years following the product announced end-of-life date Hardware; (c) for FortiSwitch Hardware appliance products other than the FortiSwitch-5000 series, the warranty herein shall last from the start of the warranty period as discussed above until five (5) years following the product announced end-of-life date Hardware. Fortinet’s sole obligation shall be to repair or offer replacement Hardware for the defective Hardware at no charge to the original owner. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor, de-installation, installation, reconfiguration, or return shipment and handling fees and costs, and Fortinet shall have no obligation related thereto. 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 Software as initially shipped by Fortinet 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 operated as contemplated in its documentation. Fortinet’s sole obligation shall be to repair or offer replacement Software for the non-conforming Software with software that substantially conforms to Fortinet’s functional specifications. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor, de-installation, installation, reconfiguration, or return shipment and handling fees and costs, and Fortinet shall have no obligation related thereto. Except as otherwise agreed by Fortinet in writing, the warranty 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 warranty 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 PRODUCTS, INCLUDING 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. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NO VENDOR CAN ASSURE COMPLETE SECURITY AND NOTHING HEREIN OR ELSEWHERE SHALL BE DEEMED TO IMPLY A SECURITY GUARANTEE OR ASSURANCE, AND FORTINET DISLAIMS LIABILITY REGARDING YOUR WEB BROWSER’S REQUIREMENTS OR ANY THIRD PARTY DEVICE OR APPLIANCE USED TO OPERATE THE 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, updated to the latest version, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by Fortinet, (c) has been subjected to abnormal physical or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident; (d) is licensed for beta, evaluation, donation, testing or demonstration purposes or for which Fortinet does not charge a purchase price or license fee; or (e) is procured from a non- authorized reseller or non-authorized distributor. 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. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all sales are final and no provision in this EULA entitles you to return Products, other than as expressly set forth herein. 8. Governing Law. Any disputes arising out of this Agreement or Fortinet’s limited warranty shall be governed by the laws of the state of California, without regard to the conflict of laws principles. In the event of any disputes arising out of this Agreement or Fortinet’s limited warranty, the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California, as applicable, and agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be determined in the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California, as applicable. 9. Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, FORTINET IS NOT LIABLE UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE OR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE RELATED TO USE OF THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE IN CONNECTION WITH HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES, DE-INSTALLATION AND INSTALLATION FEES AND COSTS, DAMAGE TO PERSONAL OR REAL PROPERTY, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, COMPUTER SECURITY BREACH, COMPUTER VIRUS INFECTION, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR DATA CONTAINED IN, STORED ON, OR INTEGRATED WITH ANY PRODUCT INCLUDING ANY PRODUCT RETURNED TO FORTINET FOR WARRANTY SERVICE) RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCT, RELATING TO WARRANTY SERVICE, OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 6 ABOVE, EVEN IF FORTINET HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE SOLE REMEDY FOR A BREACH OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY IS, AT FORTINET’S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION: REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND OF THE DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING PRODUCT AS SPECIFICALLY STATED IN SECTION 6 ABOVE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY END-CUSTOMER REMEDIES UNDER THIS EULA AND ANY SUPPORT AGREEMENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID
TO FORTINET FOR THE SPECIFIC APPLICABLE DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING PRODUCT AT
ISSUE. 10. Compliance with Laws, including Import/Export Laws and FCPA. You
are advised that the Products may be subject to the United States Export
Administration Regulations and other import and export laws; diversion
contrary to United States law and regulation is prohibited. You agree to
comply with all applicable international and national laws that apply to the
Products as well as end user, end-use, and destination restrictions issued by
U.S. and other governments. For additional information on U.S. export controls
see https://www.bis.doc.gov. Fortinet assumes no responsibility or liability
for your failure to obtain any necessary import and export approvals and
licenses, and Fortinet reserves the right to terminate or suspend shipments,
services and support in the event Fortinet has a reasonable basis to suspect
any import or export violation. You represent that neither the United States
Bureau of Industry and Security nor any other governmental agency has issued
sanctions against you or otherwise suspended, revoked or denied your export
privileges. You agree not to use or transfer the Products for any use relating
to nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, or missile technology, unless
authorized by the United States Government by regulation or specific written
license. Additionally, you agree not to directly or indirectly export, import
or transmit the Products contrary to the laws or regulations of any other
governmental entity that has jurisdiction over such export, import,
transmission or use. Furthermore, you hereby agree that, for any orders that
you place with Fortinet whereby any legal or regulatory requirements may apply
to Fortinet such as requirements related to the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations, or Buy American Act, or the Trade Agreements Act: you are
responsible to ensure the Purchase Order submitted to Fortinet by you and/or
any partners clearly states the specific requirement in writing, or otherwise
Fortinet is not bound by any such requirements. You represent that you
understand, and you hereby agree to comply with, all requirements of the U.S.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and all other applicable laws. You represent
that you hereby agree that you and your employees have not accepted, and will
not accept, anything of value, including money, meals, entertainment, paid-for
travel, beta, testing, evaluation, donation or free Products and/or related
services, or anything else of value, in exchange for Fortinet maintaining
current business or for new business opportunities. You agree you and your
employees will be responsible to comply in full with all laws and policies
applicable to any and all dealings with Fortinet in general and its
distributors, resellers and partners. 11. U.S. Government End Users. The
Software and accompanying documentation are deemed to be “commercial computer
software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” respectively,
pursuant to DFAR Section 227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212, as applicable. Any
use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display or disclosure
of the Software and accompanying documentation by the United States Government
shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and shall be
prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of this
Agreement and its successors. 12. Tax Liability. You agree to be responsible
for payment of any sales or use taxes imposed at any time on this transaction.
13. General Provisions. Except as specifically permitted and required in
section 5 (“Transfer”) above, you agree not to assign this Agreement or
transfer any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of Fortinet. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and
inure to the benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of
Goods is expressly excluded. This Agreement and other Fortinet agreements may
be amended or supplemented only by a writing that refers explicitly to the
agreement signed on behalf of both parties, or, for this Agreement, as
otherwise expressly provided in the lead-in above Section 1 above, provided,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary and except for this Agreement which
may be amended or updated as expressly provided in the lead-in above Section 1
above, for any amendment or other agreement to be binding on Fortinet, such
amendment or other agreement must be signed by Fortinet’s General Counsel. No
waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce rights nor effective
unless in a writing signed on behalf of the party against whom the waiver is
asserted. If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, that part will
be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remainder shall continue
in full force and effect. You acknowledge that you have read this Agreement,
understand it, and agree to be bound by its terms and conditions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this EULA constitutes the entire
agreement between Fortinet and its end-customers and supersedes any and all
prior representations or conflicting provisions, such as limitations of
liability, warranties, or otherwise in any and all purported end customer
agreements, whether entered into now or in the future. In the event of a
conflict between this EULA and another agreement, this EULA shall prevail
unless the conflicting agreement expressly states that it replaces this EULA,
expressly referring to this EULA, and is agreed to in writing by authorized
representatives of the parties (which, in the case of Fortinet, is Fortinet’s
General Counsel). 14. Privacy. You agree to Fortinet’s collection, use,
disclosure, protection and transfer of your information, as set forth in the

Fortinet’s products may include software modules that are licensed (or
sublicensed) to the user under the GNU General Public License, Version 2, of
June 1991 (“GPL”) or GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 2.1, of
February 1999 (“LGPL”) or other open source software licenses which, among
other rights, permit the user to use, copy, modify and redistribute modules,
or portions thereof, and may also require attribution disclosures and access
to the source code (“Open Source Software”). The GPL requires that for any
Open Source Software covered under the GPL, which is distributed to someone in
an executable binary format, that the source code also be made available to
those users. For any Open Source Software covered under the GPL, the source
code is made available on this CD or download package. If any Open Source
Software licenses require that Fortinet provide rights to use, copy or modify
any Open Source Software program that are broader than the rights granted in
this agreement, then such rights shall take precedence over the rights and
restrictions herein. Fortinet will provide, for a charge reflecting our
standard distribution costs, the complete machine-readable copy of the
modified software modules. To obtain a complete machine-readable copy, please
send your written request, along with a check in the amount of US $25.00, to
General Public License Source Code Request, Fortinet, Inc., 899 Kifer Rd,
Sunnyvale, CA 94086 USA. To receive the modified software modules, you must
also include the following information: (a) Name, (b) Address, (c) Telephone

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 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 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 distribution 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 (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
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite
330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA 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 straightforwardly 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 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 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 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 debugging 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: aa) 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 understood 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 derivative 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.
