Caution

:  The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to 

reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. 
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 
5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interfer-
ence and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

Attention

: Le dispositif de la bande 5150-5250 MHz est réservé à un usage 

intérieur afin de réduire l’interférence nuisible potentielle aux systèmes mobiles par 
satellite co-canal. Les radars à haute puissance sont désignés comme utilisateurs 
principaux (à savoir les utilisateurs prioritaires) des bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 
5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer des interférences et / ou 
endommager les périphériques LE-LAN

This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum 
gain of 2 dBi for 2.4GHz and 3 dBi for 5GHz. Antenna having a higher gain is 
strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna 
impedance is 50 ohms.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using 
an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter 
by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the 
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically 
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful commu-
nication.

Ce dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain 
maximal de 2 dBi pour 2,4 GHz et 3 dBi pour 5GHz. Une antenne ayant un gain 
supérieur sont strictement interdites par la réglementation d’Industrie Canada.

Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radio peut 
fonctionner seulement avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou 
inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire 
les risques de brouillage radioélectrique aux autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir 
le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée 
équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une 
communication réussie.

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 autho-
rized 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

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

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 instal-
lation costs, and any other 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 
operated 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 licens-
ee, 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 cor-
rection 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.

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 restrict-

 


background image

ed, 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 modifica-
tions 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 modifi-
cations 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 gen-
erous 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 conse-
quence 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 distribu-
tion 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 permis-
sion. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to 
the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our deci-
sion 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 APPLICA-
BLE 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 MER-
CHANTABILITY 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 SUS-
TAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO 
OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTH-
ER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

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:

 


background image

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 de-
rivative 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 designat-
ed 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 execut-
able 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 Li-
brary, 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:
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 understood that the user who changes the contents of 
definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the applica-
tion 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 in-
clude 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 termi-
nate 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 condi-
tions 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 gen-
erous 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 distribu-
tion 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.
