<p>EUROPEAN UNION PUBLIC LICENCE v. 1.2 <br />EUPL © the European Union 2007, 2016</p>
|
|
<p>This European Union Public Licence (the ‘EUPL’) applies to the Work (as defined below) which is provided under the <br />terms of this Licence. Any use of the Work, other than as authorised under this Licence is prohibited (to the extent such <br />use is covered by a right of the copyright holder of the Work). <br />The Work is provided under the terms of this Licence when the Licensor (as defined below) has placed the following <br />notice immediately following the copyright notice for the Work: <br /> Licensed under the EUPL <br />or has expressed by any other means his willingness to license under the EUPL.</p>

<p>1.Definitions <br />In this Licence, the following terms have the following meaning: <br />— ‘The Licence’:this Licence. <br />— ‘The Original Work’:the work or software distributed or communicated by the Licensor under this Licence, available <br />as Source Code and also as Executable Code as the case may be. <br />— ‘Derivative Works’:the works or software that could be created by the Licensee, based upon the Original Work or <br />modifications thereof. This Licence does not define the extent of modification or dependence on the Original Work <br />required in order to classify a work as a Derivative Work; this extent is determined by copyright law applicable in <br />the country mentioned in Article 15. <br />— ‘The Work’:the Original Work or its Derivative Works. <br />— ‘The Source Code’:the human-readable form of the Work which is the most convenient for people to study and <br />modify. <br />— ‘The Executable Code’:any code which has generally been compiled and which is meant to be interpreted by <br />a computer as a program. <br />— ‘The Licensor’:the natural or legal person that distributes or communicates the Work under the Licence. <br />— ‘Contributor(s)’:any natural or legal person who modifies the Work under the Licence, or otherwise contributes to <br />the creation of a Derivative Work. <br />— ‘The Licensee’ or ‘You’:any natural or legal person who makes any usage of the Work under the terms of the <br />Licence. <br />— ‘Distribution’ or ‘Communication’:any act of selling, giving, lending, renting, distributing, communicating, <br />transmitting, or otherwise making available, online or offline, copies of the Work or providing access to its essential <br />functionalities at the disposal of any other natural or legal person.</p>

<p>2.Scope of the rights granted by the Licence <br />The Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable licence to do the following, for <br />the duration of copyright vested in the Original Work: <br />— use the Work in any circumstance and for all usage, <br />— reproduce the Work, <br />— modify the Work, and make Derivative Works based upon the Work, <br />— communicate to the public, including the right to make available or display the Work or copies thereof to the public <br />and perform publicly, as the case may be, the Work, <br />— distribute the Work or copies thereof, <br />— lend and rent the Work or copies thereof, <br />— sublicense rights in the Work or copies thereof. <br />Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports and formats, whether now known or later invented, as far as the <br />applicable law permits so. <br />In the countries where moral rights apply, the Licensor waives his right to exercise his moral right to the extent allowed <br />by law in order to make effective the licence of the economic rights here above listed. <br />The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non-exclusive usage rights to any patents held by the Licensor, to the <br />extent necessary to make use of the rights granted on the Work under this Licence.</p>
|
|
<p>3.Communication of the Source Code <br />The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form, or as Executable Code. If the Work is provided as <br />Executable Code, the Licensor provides in addition a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Work along with <br />each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates, in a notice following the copyright notice attached to <br />the Work, a repository where the Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the Licensor continues to <br />distribute or communicate the Work.</p>
|
|
<p>4.Limitations on copyright <br />Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits from any exception or limitation to the <br />exclusive rights of the rights owners in the Work, of the exhaustion of those rights or of other applicable limitations <br />thereto.</p>
|
|
<p>5.Obligations of the Licensee <br />The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those <br />obligations are the following:</p>
|
|
<p>Attribution right: The Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or trademarks notices and all notices that refer to <br />the Licence and to the disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices and a copy of the <br />Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes or communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work <br />to carry prominent notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.</p>
|
|
<p>Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes or communicates copies of the Original Works or Derivative Works, this <br />Distribution or Communication will be done under the terms of this Licence or of a later version of this Licence unless <br />the Original Work is expressly distributed only under this version of the Licence — for example by communicating <br />‘EUPL v. 1.2 only’. The Licensee (becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on the <br />Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.</p>
|
|
<p>Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative Works or copies thereof based upon both <br />the Work and another work licensed under a Compatible Licence, this Distribution or Communication can be done <br />under the terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause, ‘Compatible Licence’ refers to the licences listed <br />in the appendix attached to this Licence. Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict with <br />his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations of the Compatible Licence shall prevail.</p>
|
|
<p>Provision of Source Code: When distributing or communicating copies of the Work, the Licensee will provide <br />a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or indicate a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available <br />for as long as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work. <br />Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or names <br />of the Licensor, except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and <br />reproducing the content of the copyright notice.</p>
|
|
<p>6.Chain of Authorship <br />The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted hereunder is owned by him/her or <br />licensed to him/her and that he/she has the power and authority to grant the Licence. <br />Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings to the Work are owned by him/her or <br />licensed to him/her and that he/she has the power and authority to grant the Licence. <br />Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions <br />to the Work, under the terms of this Licence.</p>
|
|
<p>7.Disclaimer of Warranty <br />The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous Contributors. It is not a finished work <br />and may therefore contain defects or ‘bugs’ inherent to this type of development. <br />For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an ‘as is’ basis and without warranties of any kind <br />concerning the Work, including without limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects or <br />errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other than copyright as stated in Article 6 of this <br />Licence. <br />This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition for the grant of any rights to the Work.</p>
|
|
<p>8.Disclaimer of Liability <br />Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural persons, the Licensor will in no event be <br />liable for any direct or indirect, material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use of the <br />Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss <br />of data or any commercial damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damage. However, <br />the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws as far such laws apply to the Work.</p>
|
|
<p>9.Additional agreements <br />While distributing the Work, You may choose to conclude an additional agreement, defining obligations or services <br />consistent with this Licence. However, if accepting obligations, You may act only on your own behalf and on your sole <br />responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify, <br />defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by <br />the fact You have accepted any warranty or additional liability.</p>
|
|
<p>10.Acceptance of the Licence <br />The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon ‘I agree’ placed under the bottom of a window <br />displaying the text of this Licence or by affirming consent in any other similar way, in accordance with the rules of <br />applicable law. Clicking on that icon indicates your clear and irrevocable acceptance of this Licence and all of its terms <br />and conditions. <br />Similarly, you irrevocably accept this Licence and all of its terms and conditions by exercising any rights granted to You <br />by Article 2 of this Licence, such as the use of the Work, the creation by You of a Derivative Work or the Distribution <br />or Communication by You of the Work or copies thereof.</p>
|
|
<p>11.Information to the public <br />In case of any Distribution or Communication of the Work by means of electronic communication by You (for example, <br />by offering to download the Work from a remote location) the distribution channel or media (for example, a website) <br />must at least provide to the public the information requested by the applicable law regarding the Licensor, the Licence <br />and the way it may be accessible, concluded, stored and reproduced by the Licensee.</p>
|
|
<p>12.Termination of the Licence <br />The Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by the Licensee of the terms <br />of the Licence. <br />Such a termination will not terminate the licences of any person who has received the Work from the Licensee under <br />the Licence, provided such persons remain in full compliance with the Licence.</p>
|
|
<p>13.Miscellaneous <br />Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete agreement between the Parties as to the <br />Work. <br />If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, this will not affect the validity or <br />enforceability of the Licence as a whole. Such provision will be construed or reformed so as necessary to make it valid <br />and enforceable. <br />The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions or new versions of this Licence or updated versions of <br />the Appendix, so far this is required and reasonable, without reducing the scope of the rights granted by the Licence. <br />New versions of the Licence will be published with a unique version number. <br />All linguistic versions of this Licence, approved by the European Commission, have identical value. Parties can take <br />advantage of the linguistic version of their choice.</p>
|
|
<p>14.Jurisdiction <br />Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties, <br />— any litigation resulting from the interpretation of this License, arising between the European Union institutions, <br />bodies, offices or agencies, as a Licensor, and any Licensee, will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice <br />of the European Union, as laid down in article 272 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, <br />— any litigation arising between other parties and resulting from the interpretation of this License, will be subject to <br />the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court where the Licensor resides or conducts its primary business.</p>
|
|
<p>15.Applicable Law <br />Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties, <br />— this Licence shall be governed by the law of the European Union Member State where the Licensor has his seat, <br />resides or has his registered office, <br />— this licence shall be governed by Belgian law if the Licensor has no seat, residence or registered office inside <br />a European Union Member State.</p>
