|
|
|
|
EUPL (c) the European Community 2007
|
|
|
|
This European Union Public Licence (the "EUPL") applies to the Work or Software
|
|
(as defined below) which is provided under the terms of this Licence. Any
|
|
use of the Work, other than as authorised under this Licence is prohibited
|
|
(to the extent such use is covered by a right of the copyright holder of the
|
|
Work).
|
|
|
|
The Original Work is provided under the terms of this Licence when the Licensor
|
|
(as defined below) has placed the following notice immediately following the
|
|
copyright notice for the Original Work:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Licensed under the EUPL V.1.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or has expressed by any other mean his willingness to license under the EUPL.
|
|
|
|
1. Definitions
|
|
|
|
In this Licence, the following terms have the following meaning:
|
|
|
|
- The Licence: this Licence.
|
|
|
|
- The Original Work or the Software: the software distributed and/or communicated
|
|
by the Licensor under this Licence, available as Source Code and also as Executable
|
|
Code as the case may be.
|
|
|
|
- Derivative Works: the works or software that could be created by the Licensee,
|
|
based upon the Original Work or modifications thereof. This Licence does not
|
|
define the extent of modification or dependence on the Original Work required
|
|
in order to classify a work as a Derivative Work; this extent is determined
|
|
by copyright law applicable in the country mentioned in Article 15.
|
|
|
|
- The Work: the Original Work and/or its Derivative Works.
|
|
|
|
- The Source Code: the human-readable form of the Work which is the most convenient
|
|
for people to study and modify.
|
|
|
|
- The Executable Code: any code which has generally been compiled and which
|
|
is meant to be interpreted by a computer as a program.
|
|
|
|
- The Licensor: the natural or legal person that distributes and/or communicates
|
|
the Work under the Licence.
|
|
|
|
- Contributor(s): any natural or legal person who modifies the Work under
|
|
the Licence, or otherwise contributes to the creation of a Derivative Work.
|
|
|
|
- The Licensee or "You": any natural or legal person who makes any usage of
|
|
the Software under the terms of the Licence.
|
|
|
|
- Distribution and/or Communication: any act of selling, giving, lending,
|
|
renting, distributing, communicating, transmitting, or otherwise making available,
|
|
on-line or off-line, copies of the Work or providing access to its essential
|
|
functionalities at the disposal of any other natural or legal person.
|
|
|
|
2. Scope of the rights granted by the Licence
|
|
|
|
The Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
|
|
sublicensable licence to do the following, for the duration of copyright vested
|
|
in the Original Work:
|
|
|
|
- use the Work in any circumstance and for all usage,
|
|
|
|
- reproduce the Work,
|
|
|
|
- modify the Original Work, and make Derivative Works based upon the Work,
|
|
|
|
- communicate to the public, including the right to make available or display
|
|
the Work or copies thereof to the public and perform publicly, as the case
|
|
may be, the Work,
|
|
|
|
- distribute the Work or copies thereof,
|
|
|
|
- lend and rent the Work or copies thereof,
|
|
|
|
- sub-license rights in the Work or copies thereof.
|
|
|
|
Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports and formats, whether
|
|
now known or later invented, as far as the applicable law permits so.
|
|
|
|
In the countries where moral rights apply, the Licensor waives his right to
|
|
exercise his moral right to the extent allowed by law in order to make effective
|
|
the licence of the economic rights here above listed.
|
|
|
|
The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non exclusive usage rights
|
|
to any patents held by the Licensor, to the extent necessary to make use of
|
|
the rights granted on the Work under this Licence.
|
|
|
|
3. Communication of the Source Code
|
|
|
|
The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form, or as Executable
|
|
Code. If the Work is provided as Executable Code, the Licensor provides in
|
|
addition a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Work along with
|
|
each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates, in a notice
|
|
following the copyright notice attached to the Work, a repository where the
|
|
Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the Licensor continues
|
|
to distribute and/or communicate the Work.
|
|
|
|
4. Limitations on copyright
|
|
|
|
Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits
|
|
from any exception or limitation to the exclusive rights of the rights owners
|
|
in the Original Work or Software, of the exhaustion of those rights or of
|
|
other applicable limitations thereto.
|
|
|
|
5. Obligations of the Licensee
|
|
|
|
The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and
|
|
obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those obligations are the following:
|
|
|
|
Attribution right: the Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or
|
|
trademarks notices and all notices that refer to the Licence and to the disclaimer
|
|
of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices and a copy
|
|
of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes and/or communicates.
|
|
The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry prominent notices stating
|
|
that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
|
|
|
|
Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes and/or communicates copies of
|
|
the Original Works or Derivative Works based upon the Original Work, this
|
|
Distribution and/or Communication will be done under the terms of this Licence
|
|
or of a later version of this Licence unless the Original Work is expressly
|
|
distributed only under this version of the Licence. The Licensee (becoming
|
|
Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on the
|
|
Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes and/or Communicates Derivative
|
|
Works or copies thereof based upon both the Original Work and another work
|
|
licensed under a Compatible Licence, this Distribution and/or Communication
|
|
can be done under the terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this
|
|
clause, "Compatible Licence," refers to the licences listed in the appendix
|
|
attached to this Licence. Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible
|
|
Licence conflict with his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations
|
|
of the Compatible Licence shall prevail.
|
|
|
|
Provision of Source Code: When distributing and/or communicating copies of
|
|
the Work, the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source
|
|
Code or indicate a repository where this Source will be easily and freely
|
|
available for as long as the Licensee continues to distribute and/or communicate
|
|
the Work.
|
|
|
|
Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
names, trademarks, service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as required
|
|
for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
|
|
reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
|
|
|
|
6. Chain of Authorship
|
|
|
|
The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted
|
|
hereunder is owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
|
|
power and authority to grant the Licence.
|
|
|
|
Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings
|
|
to the Work are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has
|
|
the power and authority to grant the Licence.
|
|
|
|
Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent Contributors
|
|
grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the terms of
|
|
this Licence.
|
|
|
|
7. Disclaimer of Warranty
|
|
|
|
The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous
|
|
contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects
|
|
or "bugs" inherent to this type of software development.
|
|
|
|
For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an "as is"
|
|
basis and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without
|
|
limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects
|
|
or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other
|
|
than copyright as stated in Article 6 of this Licence.
|
|
|
|
This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition
|
|
for the grant of any rights to the Work.
|
|
|
|
8. Disclaimer of Liability
|
|
|
|
Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
|
|
persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect,
|
|
material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the
|
|
use of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial
|
|
damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
|
|
However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws
|
|
as far such laws apply to the Work.
|
|
|
|
9. Additional agreements
|
|
|
|
While distributing the Original Work or Derivative Works, You may choose to
|
|
conclude an additional agreement to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance
|
|
of support, warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or services
|
|
consistent with this Licence. However, in accepting such obligations, You
|
|
may act only on your own behalf and on your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
of the original Licensor or any other Contributor, and only if You agree to
|
|
indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred
|
|
by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by the fact You have accepted
|
|
any such warranty or additional liability.
|
|
|
|
10. Acceptance of the Licence
|
|
|
|
The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon "I agree"
|
|
placed under the bottom of a window displaying the text of this Licence or
|
|
by affirming consent in any other similar way, in accordance with the rules
|
|
of applicable law. Clicking on that icon indicates your clear and irrevocable
|
|
acceptance of this Licence and all of its terms and conditions.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, you irrevocably accept this Licence and all of its terms and conditions
|
|
by exercising any rights granted to You by Article 2 of this Licence, such
|
|
as the use of the Work, the creation by You of a Derivative Work or the Distribution
|
|
and/or Communication by You of the Work or copies thereof.
|
|
|
|
11. Information to the public
|
|
|
|
In case of any Distribution and/or Communication of the Work by means of electronic
|
|
communication by You (for example, by offering to download the Work from a
|
|
remote location) the distribution channel or media (for example, a website)
|
|
must at least provide to the public the information requested by the applicable
|
|
law regarding the Licensor, the Licence and the way it may be accessible,
|
|
concluded, stored and reproduced by the Licensee.
|
|
|
|
12. Termination of the Licence
|
|
|
|
The Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically
|
|
upon any breach by the Licensee of the terms of the Licence. Such a termination
|
|
will not terminate the licences of any person who has received the Work from
|
|
the Licensee under the Licence, provided such persons remain in full compliance
|
|
with the Licence.
|
|
|
|
13. Miscellaneous
|
|
|
|
Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete
|
|
agreement between the Parties as to the Work licensed hereunder.
|
|
|
|
If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
|
|
law, this will not affect the validity or enforceability of the Licence as
|
|
a whole. Such provision will be construed and/or reformed so as necessary
|
|
to make it valid and enforceable.
|
|
|
|
The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions and/or new versions
|
|
of this Licence, so far this is required and reasonable, without reducing
|
|
the scope of the rights granted by the Licence. New versions of the Licence
|
|
will be published with a unique version number.
|
|
|
|
All linguistic versions of this Licence, approved by the European Commission,
|
|
have identical value. Parties can take advantage of the linguistic version
|
|
of their choice.
|
|
|
|
14. Jurisdiction
|
|
|
|
Any litigation resulting from the interpretation of this License, arising
|
|
between the European Commission, as a Licensor, and any Licensee, will be
|
|
subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Communities,
|
|
as laid down in article 238 of the Treaty establishing the European Community.
|
|
|
|
Any litigation arising between Parties, other than the European Commission,
|
|
and resulting from the interpretation of this License, will be subject to
|
|
the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court where the Licensor resides
|
|
or conducts its primary business.
|
|
|
|
15. Applicable Law

|
- a litigation arises between the European Commission, as a Licensor, and
|
|
any Licensee;
|
|
|
|
- the Licensor, other than the European Commission, has no residence or registered
|
|
office inside a European Union country.
