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. |
