|
||||||
|
EUPL © the European Union 2007, 2016
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This European Union Public Licence (the ‘EUPL’) applies to the Work (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 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 Work:
|
||||||
|
Licensed under the EUPL
|
||||||
|
or has expressed by any other means 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’:the work or software distributed 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 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 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 Work under the terms of the
|
||||||
|
Licence.
|
||||||
|
— ‘Distribution’ or ‘Communication’:any act of selling, giving, lending, renting, distributing, communicating,
|
||||||
|
transmitting, or otherwise making available, online or offline, 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 worldwide, 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 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,
|
||||||
|
— sublicense 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 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 Work, 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 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 or communicates copies of the Original Works or Derivative Works, this
|
||||||
|
Distribution 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 — for example by communicating
|
||||||
|
‘EUPL v. 1.2 only’. 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 or Communicates Derivative Works or copies thereof based upon both
|
||||||
|
the Work and another work licensed under a Compatible Licence, this Distribution 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 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 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 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 Work, You may choose to conclude an additional agreement, defining obligations or services
|
||||||
|
consistent with this Licence. However, if accepting 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 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
|
||||||
|
or Communication by You of the Work or copies thereof.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
11.Information to the public
|
||||||
|
In case of any Distribution 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.
|
||||||
|
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 or reformed so as necessary to make it valid
|
||||||
|
and enforceable.
|
||||||
|
The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions or new versions of this Licence or updated versions of
|
||||||
|
the Appendix, 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
|
||||||
|
Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
|
||||||
|
— any litigation resulting from the interpretation of this License, arising between the European Union institutions,
|
||||||
|
bodies, offices or agencies, as a Licensor, and any Licensee, will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice
|
||||||
|
of the European Union, as laid down in article 272 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
|
||||||
|
— any litigation arising between other parties 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
|
||||||
|
Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
|
||||||
|
— this Licence shall be governed by the law of the European Union Member State where the Licensor has his seat,
|
||||||
|
resides or has his registered office,
|
||||||
|
— this licence shall be governed by Belgian law if the Licensor has no seat, residence or registered office inside
|
||||||
|
a European Union Member State.
