|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##*EUPL © 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,
|
||||||
|
sub-licensable 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
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
applicable law. Clicking on that icon indicates your clear and irrevocable
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
conducts its primary business.
