Connecting Your FortiAP Unit
The FortiAP 112B -PoE can be configured to function as an access
point, or to operate in mesh mode.
Adequate grounding must be provided to the FortiAP unit and the
PoE injector, in compliance with the local electrical code.
Note: The included PoE injector must be mounted indoors, as it is
not weatherproof.
Caution: Only use the provided PoE injector (EPE-1212) and power
adapter with this devices. Using a different PoE injector or power
adapter may cause damage to the device.
Note: The FortiAP 112B has a directional antenna located on the
front of the device. For a reliable wireless connection, the device
must be aimed towards its target to establish a connection. See
Mounting Your FortiAP Unit on page 7.

To connect the FortiAP unit:
1. Insert an Ethernet cable into the ETH (PoE) port of the FortiAP
unit and insert the other end of the cable into the PoE port on
the provided PoE injector.
2. Insert one end of the provided power adapter into the PoE
injector, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
The Status LED will light up.
3. Insert an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the provided PoE
injector or the ETH port of the FortiAP unit, to a PC, FortiGate,
or FortiWifi device.
To configure the management computer:
1. Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet
as the internal interface of the FortiAP unit:
a. Browse to the Network and Sharing Center > Change
Adapter Settings > Local Area Connection Properties >
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties.
b. Change the IP address of the management computer to
192.168.1.1 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
2. Connect from the LAN port of the PoE injector, or the ETH port
on the FortiAP unit, to the management computer using an
Ethernet cable.

Product License Agreement
Product License Agreement
CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING LEGAL AGREEMENT (THE OR THIS “AGREEMENT”). USE OF FORTINET, INC. (“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 WRITING 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 THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD PROMPTLY RETURN THE PRODUCTS TO THE LOCATION WHERE
YOU OBTAINED THEM FOR A FULL REFUND. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO All OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT START THE
INSTALLATION PROCESS OR USE THE PRODUCTS.
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 documentation, any updates
and enhancements of the software or firmware provided to you by Fortinet, at its option. Subject to proper payment to Fortinet
and your compliance with the other terms and conditions, Fortinet grants to you a non-transferable (except as provided in section
5 (“Transfer”) and section 13 (“Open Source Software”) below), non-exclusive license to use the Software solely for your internal
business purposes, in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and subject to any further restrictions in Fortinet docu-
mentation, 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). Note that, for evaluation or beta Products for which Fortinet does not charge a fee, the payment requirement
does not apply and the Product is provided to you as-is and you are not entitled to any warranty, under section 6 (“Limited War-
ranty”) below or otherwise. 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 attempt-
ing 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, 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 condi-
tions 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 specifi-
cally 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 EULA and therefore wishes to return the Product(s)
as provided for in this Agreement.
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. 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 or evaluation Products, for any spare parts not
Page 15

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 con-
ditions, 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 al-
lowed 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 PERMIT-
TED 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
Page 18

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 run-
ning 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, ver-
sion 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

Page 19

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 modifi-
cation 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 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-compati-
ble 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 require-
ment 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 is-
sues), 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 incorpo-
rates 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.
