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 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 or of a later +version of this Licence unless the Original Work is expressly distributed only under +this version of the 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.

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 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 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 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 publish other linguistic versions and/or new versions +of this Licence, 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 + +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. + +This licence shall be governed by the Belgian law if: + +- a litigation arises between the European Commission, as a Licensor, and any +Licensee; +- the Licensor, other than the European Commission, has no residence or +registered office inside a European Union country. + +=== + +Appendix + +“Compatible Licences” according to article 5 EUPL are: + +- GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) v. 2 +- Open Software License (OSL) v. 2.1, v. 3.0 +- Common Public License v. 1.0 +- Eclipse Public License v. 1.0 +- Cecill v. 2.0
