| 6 | |
| 7 This European Union Public Licence (the "EUPL") applies to the Work or Software | |
| 8 (as defined below) which is provided under the terms of this Licence. Any use | |
| 9 of the Work, other than as authorised under this Licence is prohibited (to the | |
| 10 extent such use is covered by a right of the copyright holder of the Work). | |
| 11 | |
| 12 The Original Work is provided under the terms of this Licence when the Licensor | |
| 13 (as defined below) has placed the following notice immediately following the | |
| 14 copyright notice for the Original Work: | |
| 15 | |
| 16 Licensed under the EUPL V.1.1 | |

| 24 | |
| 25 * The Licence: this Licence. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 * The Original Work or the Software: the software distributed and/or | |
| 28 communicated by the Licensor under this Licence, available as Source Code | |
| 29 and also as Executable Code as the case may be. | |
| 30 | |
| 31 * Derivative Works: the works or software that could be created by the | |
| 32 Licensee, based upon the Original Work or modifications thereof. This | |
| 33 Licence does not define the extent of modification or dependence on the | |
| 34 Original Work required in order to classify a work as a Derivative Work; | |
| 35 this extent is determined by copyright law applicable in the country | |
| 36 mentioned in Article 15. | |
| 37 | |
| 38 * The Work: the Original Work and/or its Derivative Works. | |
| 39 | |
| 40 * The Source Code: the human-readable form of the Work which is the most | |
| 41 convenient for people to study and modify. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 * The Executable Code: any code which has generally been compiled and which is | |
| 44 meant to be interpreted by a computer as a program. | |
| 45 | |
| 46 * The Licensor: the natural or legal person that distributes and/or | |
| 47 communicates the Work under the Licence. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 * Contributor(s): any natural or legal person who modifies the Work under the | |
| 50 Licence, or otherwise contributes to the creation of a Derivative Work. | |
| 51 | |
| 52 * The Licensee or "You": any natural or legal person who makes any usage of | |
| 53 the Software under the terms of the Licence. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 * Distribution and/or Communication: any act of selling, giving, lending, | |
| 56 renting, distributing, communicating, transmitting, or otherwise making | |
| 57 available, on-line or off-line, copies of the Work or providing access to | |
| 58 its essential functionalities at the disposal of any other natural or legal | |
| 59 person. | |
| 60 | |
| 61 | |
| 62 2. Scope of the rights granted by the Licence | |
| 63 | |
| 64 The Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, | |
| 65 sublicensable licence to do the following, for the duration of copyright vested | |
| 66 in the Original Work: | |
| 67 | |
| 68 * use the Work in any circumstance and for all usage, | |
| 69 * reproduce the Work, | |
| 70 * modify the Original Work, and make Derivative Works based upon the Work, | |
| 71 * communicate to the public, including the right to make available or display | |
| 72 the Work or copies thereof to the public and perform publicly, as the case | |
| 73 may be, the Work, | |
| 74 * distribute the Work or copies thereof, | |
| 75 * lend and rent the Work or copies thereof, | |
| 76 * sub-license rights in the Work or copies thereof. | |
| 77 | |
| 78 Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports and formats, whether now | |
| 79 known or later invented, as far as the applicable law permits so. | |
| 80 | |
| 81 In the countries where moral rights apply, the Licensor waives his right to | |
| 82 exercise his moral right to the extent allowed by law in order to make | |
| 83 effective the licence of the economic rights here above listed. | |
| 84 | |
| 85 The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non exclusive usage rights to | |
| 86 any patents held by the Licensor, to the extent necessary to make use of the | |
| 87 rights granted on the Work under this Licence. | |
| 88 | |
| 89 | |
| 90 3. Communication of the Source Code | |
| 91 | |
| 92 The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form, or as | |
| 93 Executable Code. If the Work is provided as Executable Code, the Licensor | |
| 94 provides in addition a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Work | |
| 95 along with each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates, in | |
| 96 a notice following the copyright notice attached to the Work, a repository | |
| 97 where the Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the | |
| 98 Licensor continues to distribute and/or communicate the Work. | |
| 99 | |
| 100 | |
| 101 4. Limitations on copyright | |
| 102 | |
| 103 Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits | |
| 104 from any exception or limitation to the exclusive rights of the rights owners | |
| 105 in the Original Work or Software, of the exhaustion of those rights or of other | |
| 106 applicable limitations thereto. | |
| 107 | |
| 108 | |
| 109 5. Obligations of the Licensee | |
| 110 | |
| 111 The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and | |
| 112 obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those obligations are the following: | |
| 113 | |
| 114 - Attribution right: the Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or | |
| 115 trademarks notices and all notices that refer to the Licence and to the | |
| 116 disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices | |
| 117 and a copy of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes | |
| 118 and/or communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry | |
| 119 prominent notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of | |
| 120 modification. | |
| 121 | |
| 122 - Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes and/or communicates copies of | |
| 123 the Original Works or Derivative Works based upon the Original Work, this | |
| 124 Distribution and/or Communication will be done under the terms of this | |
| 125 Licence or of a later version of this Licence unless the Original Work is | |
| 126 expressly distributed only under this version of the Licence. The Licensee | |
| 127 (becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or | |
| 128 conditions on the Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms | |
| 129 of the Licence. | |
| 130 | |
| 131 - Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes and/or Communicates | |
| 132 Derivative Works or copies thereof based upon both the Original Work and | |
| 133 another work licensed under a Compatible Licence, this Distribution and/or | |
| 134 Communication can be done under the terms of this Compatible Licence. For | |
| 135 the sake of this clause, "Compatible Licence" refers to the licences listed | |
| 136 in the appendix attached to this Licence. Should the Licensee's obligations | |
| 137 under the Compatible Licence conflict with his/her obligations under this | |
| 138 Licence, the obligations of the Compatible Licence shall prevail. | |
| 139 | |
| 140 - Provision of Source Code: When distributing and/or communicating copies of | |
| 141 the Work, the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source | |
| 142 Code or indicate a repository where this Source will be easily and freely | |
| 143 available for as long as the Licensee continues to distribute and/or | |
| 144 communicate the Work. Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant | |
| 145 permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or names of | |
| 146 the Licensor, except as required for reasonable and customary use in | |
| 147 describing the origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the | |
| 148 copyright notice. | |
| 149 | |
| 150 | |
| 151 6. Chain of Authorship | |
| 152 | |
| 153 The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted | |
| 154 hereunder is owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the | |
| 155 power and authority to grant the Licence. | |
| 156 | |
| 157 Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings | |
| 158 to the Work are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the | |
| 159 power and authority to grant the Licence. | |
| 160 | |
| 161 Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent | |
| 162 Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the | |
| 163 terms of this Licence. | |
| 164 | |
| 165 | |
| 166 7. Disclaimer of Warranty | |
| 167 | |
| 168 The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous | |
| 169 contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects or | |
| 170 "bugs" inherent to this type of software development. | |
| 171 | |
| 172 For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an "as is" | |
| 173 basis and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without | |
| 174 limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of | |
| 175 defects or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights | |
| 176 other than copyright as stated in Article 6 of this Licence. | |
| 177 | |
| 178 This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition | |
| 179 for the grant of any rights to the Work. | |
| 180 | |
| 181 | |
| 182 8. Disclaimer of Liability | |
| 183 | |
| 184 Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural | |
| 185 persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect, | |
| 186 material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the | |
| 187 use of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, | |
| 188 work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial | |
| 189 damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such | |
| 190 damage. However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability | |
| 191 laws as far such laws apply to the Work. | |
| 192 | |
| 193 | |
| 194 9. Additional agreements | |
| 195 | |
| 196 While distributing the Original Work or Derivative Works, You may choose to | |
| 197 conclude an additional agreement to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of | |
| 198 support, warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or services | |
| 199 consistent with this Licence. However, in accepting such obligations, You may | |
| 200 act only on your own behalf and on your sole responsibility, not on behalf of | |
| 201 the original Licensor or any other Contributor, and only if You agree to | |
| 202 indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability | |
| 203 incurred by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by the fact You have | |
| 204 accepted any such warranty or additional liability. | |
| 205 | |
| 206 | |
| 207 10. Acceptance of the Licence | |
| 208 | |
| 209 The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon "I agree" | |

| 214 | |
| 215 Similarly, you irrevocably accept this Licence and all of its terms and | |
| 216 conditions by exercising any rights granted to You by Article 2 of this | |
| 217 Licence, such as the use of the Work, the creation by You of a Derivative Work | |
| 218 or the Distribution and/or Communication by You of the Work or copies thereof. | |
| 219 | |
| 220 | |
| 221 11. Information to the public | |
| 222 | |
| 223 In case of any Distribution and/or Communication of the Work by means of | |
| 224 electronic communication by You (for example, by offering to download the Work | |
| 225 from a remote location) the distribution channel or media (for example, a | |
| 226 website) must at least provide to the public the information requested by the | |
| 227 applicable law regarding the Licensor, the Licence and the way it may be | |
| 228 accessible, concluded, stored and reproduced by the Licensee. | |
| 229 | |
| 230 | |
| 231 12. Termination of the Licence | |
| 232 | |
| 233 The Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon | |
| 234 any breach by the Licensee of the terms of the Licence. | |
| 235 | |
| 236 Such a termination will not terminate the licences of any person who has | |
| 237 received the Work from the Licensee under the Licence, provided such persons | |
| 238 remain in full compliance with the Licence. | |
| 239 | |
| 240 | |
| 241 13. Miscellaneous | |

| 243 Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete | |
| 244 agreement between the Parties as to the Work licensed hereunder. | |
| 245 | |
| 246 If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable | |
| 247 law, this will not affect the validity or enforceability of the Licence as a | |
| 248 whole. Such provision will be construed and/or reformed so as necessary to make | |
| 249 it valid and enforceable. | |
| 250 | |
| 251 The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions and/or new | |
| 252 versions of this Licence, so far this is required and reasonable, without | |
