fe4958a
- ‘Derivative Works’: the works or software that could be created by the

  convenient for people to study and modify.

fe4958a
  meant to be interpreted by a computer as a program.

fe4958a
  the Work under the Licence.

  the Work under the terms of the Licence.

  essential functionalities at the disposal of any other natural or legal
fe4958a
  person.
fe4958a
fe4958a
2. Scope of the rights granted by the Licence
fe4958a
fe4958a
The Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,

Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports and formats, whether now
fe4958a
known or later invented, as far as the applicable law permits so.
fe4958a
fe4958a
In the countries where moral rights apply, the Licensor waives his right to
fe4958a
exercise his moral right to the extent allowed by law in order to make effective
fe4958a
the licence of the economic rights here above listed.
fe4958a
fe4958a
The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non-exclusive usage rights to
fe4958a
any patents held by the Licensor, to the extent necessary to make use of the
fe4958a
rights granted on the Work under this Licence.
fe4958a
fe4958a
3. Communication of the Source Code
fe4958a
fe4958a
The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form, or as
fe4958a
Executable Code. If the Work is provided as Executable Code, the Licensor
fe4958a
provides in addition a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Work
fe4958a
along with each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates, in
fe4958a
a notice following the copyright notice attached to the Work, a repository where
fe4958a
the Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the Licensor
fe4958a
continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
fe4958a
fe4958a
4. Limitations on copyright
fe4958a
fe4958a
Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits from
fe4958a
any exception or limitation to the exclusive rights of the rights owners in the
fe4958a
Work, of the exhaustion of those rights or of other applicable limitations
fe4958a
thereto.
fe4958a
fe4958a
5. Obligations of the Licensee
fe4958a
fe4958a
The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and
fe4958a
obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those obligations are the following:
fe4958a
fe4958a
Attribution right: The Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or
fe4958a
trademarks notices and all notices that refer to the Licence and to the
fe4958a
disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices and a
fe4958a
copy of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes or
fe4958a
communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry prominent
fe4958a
notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
fe4958a
fe4958a
Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes or communicates copies of the
fe4958a
Original Works or Derivative Works, this Distribution or Communication will be
fe4958a
done under the terms of this Licence or of a later version of this Licence
fe4958a
unless the Original Work is expressly distributed only under this version of the
fe4958a
Licence — for example by communicating ‘EUPL v. 1.2 only’. The Licensee
fe4958a
(becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on
fe4958a
the Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.
fe4958a
fe4958a
Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative
fe4958a
Works or copies thereof based upon both the Work and another work licensed under
fe4958a
a Compatible Licence, this Distribution or Communication can be done under the
fe4958a
terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause, ‘Compatible
fe4958a
Licence’ refers to the licences listed in the appendix attached to this Licence.
fe4958a
Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict with
fe4958a
his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations of the Compatible
fe4958a
Licence shall prevail.
fe4958a
fe4958a
Provision of Source Code: When distributing or communicating copies of the Work,
fe4958a
the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or indicate
fe4958a
a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available for as long
fe4958a
as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
fe4958a
fe4958a
Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names,
fe4958a
trademarks, service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as required for
fe4958a
reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
fe4958a
reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
fe4958a
fe4958a
6. Chain of Authorship
fe4958a
fe4958a
The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted
fe4958a
hereunder is owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
fe4958a
power and authority to grant the Licence.
fe4958a
fe4958a
Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings
fe4958a
to the Work are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
fe4958a
power and authority to grant the Licence.
fe4958a
fe4958a
Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent
fe4958a
Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the
fe4958a
terms of this Licence.
fe4958a
fe4958a
7. Disclaimer of Warranty
fe4958a
fe4958a
The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous
fe4958a
Contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects or
fe4958a
‘bugs’ inherent to this type of development.
fe4958a
fe4958a
For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an ‘as is’ basis
fe4958a
and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without
fe4958a
limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects
fe4958a
or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other than
fe4958a
copyright as stated in Article 6 of this Licence.
fe4958a
fe4958a
This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition
fe4958a
for the grant of any rights to the Work.
fe4958a
fe4958a
8. Disclaimer of Liability
fe4958a
fe4958a
Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
fe4958a
persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect,
fe4958a
material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use
fe4958a
of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work
fe4958a
stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial
fe4958a
damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
fe4958a
However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws as
fe4958a
far such laws apply to the Work.
fe4958a
fe4958a
9. Additional agreements
fe4958a
fe4958a
While distributing the Work, You may choose to conclude an additional agreement,
fe4958a
defining obligations or services consistent with this Licence. However, if
fe4958a
accepting obligations, You may act only on your own behalf and on your sole
fe4958a
responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any other Contributor,
fe4958a
and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless
fe4958a
for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by
fe4958a
the fact You have accepted any warranty or additional liability.
fe4958a

fe4958a

fe4958a
valid and enforceable.
