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.

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 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 + +This Licence shall be governed by the law of the European Union country where +the Licensor resides or has his registered office. + +This licence shall be governed by the Belgian law if: + +- 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. + + +=== + + +Appendix + + +“Compatible Licences” according to article 5 EUPL are: +- GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) v. 2 +- Open Software License (OSL) v. 2.1, v. 3.0 +- Common Public License v. 1.0 +- Eclipse Public License v. 1.0 +- Cecill v. 2.0 \ No newline at end of file
