| 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 |
| |
| This Licence shall be governed by the law of the European Union country where |
| the Licensor resides or has his registered office. |
| |

| Licensee; |
| |
| − the Licensor, other than the European Commission, has no residence or |
| registered office inside a European Union country. |
