| European Union Public Licence v. 1.2 |
| |
| 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. |
