European Union Public Licence V.1.0 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.1.0
|
||
|
||
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 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 machinereadable 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.
|
||
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, as a Licensee, receive the Work, 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 identification and address of 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 put into force translations and/or binding new
|
||
versions of this Licence, so far this is required and reasonable. New versions
|
||
of the Licence will be published with a unique version number. The new version
|
||
of the Licence becomes binding for You as soon as You become aware of its
|
||
publication.
|
||
|
||
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
