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
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
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,
|
|||

|
|||
|
their choice.

|||
|
Licensor, and any Licensee, will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court
