# EUROPEAN UNION PUBLIC LICENCE v. 1.2
2+
3+
EUPL © the European Union 2007, 2016
4+
5+
This European Union Public Licence (the ‘EUPL’) applies to the Work (as defined
6+
below) which is provided under the terms of this Licence. Any use of the Work,
7+
other than as authorised under this Licence is prohibited (to the extent such
8+
use is covered by a right of the copyright holder of the Work). The Work is
9+
provided under the terms of this Licence when the Licensor (as defined below)
10+
has placed the following notice immediately following the copyright notice for
11+
the Work:
12+
13+
> Licensed under the EUPL
14+
15+
or has expressed by any other means his willingness to license under the EUPL.
16+
17+
## 1. Definitions
18+
19+
In this Licence, the following terms have the following meaning:
20+
21+
- ‘The Licence’: this Licence.
22+
23+
- ‘The Original Work’: the work or software distributed or communicated by the
24+
Licensor under this Licence, available as Source Code and also as Executable
25+
Code as the case may be.
26+
27+
- ‘Derivative Works’: the works or software that could be created by the
28+
Licensee, based upon the Original Work or modifications thereof. This Licence
29+
does not define the extent of modification or dependence on the Original Work
30+
required in order to classify a work as a Derivative Work; this extent is
31+
determined by copyright law applicable in the country mentioned in Article 15.
32+
33+
- ‘The Work’: the Original Work or its Derivative Works.
34+
35+
- ‘The Source Code’: the human-readable form of the Work which is the most
36+
convenient for people to study and modify.
37+
38+
- ‘The Executable Code’: any code which has generally been compiled and which is
39+
meant to be interpreted by a computer as a program.
40+
41+
- ‘The Licensor’: the natural or legal person that distributes or communicates
42+
the Work under the Licence.
43+
44+
- ‘Contributor(s)’: any natural or legal person who modifies the Work under the
45+
Licence, or otherwise contributes to the creation of a Derivative Work.
46+
47+
- ‘The Licensee’ or ‘You’: any natural or legal person who makes any usage of the
48+
Work under the terms of the Licence.
49+
50+
- ‘Distribution’ or ‘Communication’: any act of selling, giving, lending,
51+
renting, distributing, communicating, transmitting, or otherwise making
52+
available, online or offline, copies of the Work or providing access to its
53+
essential functionalities at the disposal of any other natural or legal
54+
person.
55+
56+
## 2. Scope of the rights granted by the Licence
57+
58+
The Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
59+
sublicensable licence to do the following, for the duration of copyright vested
60+
in the Original Work:
61+
62+
- use the Work in any circumstance and for all usage,
63+
- reproduce the Work,
64+
- modify the Work, and make Derivative Works based upon the Work,
65+
- communicate to the public, including the right to make available or display
66+
the Work or copies thereof to the public and perform publicly, as the case may
67+
be, the Work,
68+
- distribute the Work or copies thereof,
69+
- lend and rent the Work or copies thereof,
70+
- sublicense rights in the Work or copies thereof.
71+
72+
Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports and formats, whether now
73+
known or later invented, as far as the applicable law permits so.
74+
75+
In the countries where moral rights apply, the Licensor waives his right to
76+
exercise his moral right to the extent allowed by law in order to make effective
77+
the licence of the economic rights here above listed.
78+
79+
The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non-exclusive usage rights to
80+
any patents held by the Licensor, to the extent necessary to make use of the
81+
rights granted on the Work under this Licence.
82+
83+
## 3. Communication of the Source Code
84+
85+
The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form, or as
86+
Executable Code. If the Work is provided as Executable Code, the Licensor
87+
provides in addition a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Work
88+
along with each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates, in
89+
a notice following the copyright notice attached to the Work, a repository where
90+
the Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the Licensor
91+
continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
92+
93+
## 4. Limitations on copyright
94+
95+
Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits from
96+
any exception or limitation to the exclusive rights of the rights owners in the
97+
Work, of the exhaustion of those rights or of other applicable limitations
98+
thereto.
99+
100+
## 5. Obligations of the Licensee
101+
102+
The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and
103+
obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those obligations are the following:
104+
105+
**Attribution right**: The Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or
106+
trademarks notices and all notices that refer to the Licence and to the
107+
disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices and a
108+
copy of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes or
109+
communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry prominent
110+
notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
111+
112+
**Copyleft clause**: If the Licensee distributes or communicates copies of the
113+
Original Works or Derivative Works, this Distribution or Communication will be
114+
done under the terms of this Licence or of a later version of this Licence
115+
unless the Original Work is expressly distributed only under this version of the
116+
Licence — for example by communicating ‘EUPL v. 1.2 only’. The Licensee
117+
(becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on
118+
the Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.
119+
120+
**Compatibility clause**: If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative
121+
Works or copies thereof based upon both the Work and another work licensed under
122+
a Compatible Licence, this Distribution or Communication can be done under the
123+
terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause, ‘Compatible
124+
Licence’ refers to the licences listed in the appendix attached to this
125+
Licence. Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict
126+
with his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations of the Compatible
127+
Licence shall prevail.
128+
129+
**Provision of Source Code**: When distributing or communicating copies of the
130+
Work, the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or
131+
indicate a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available for
132+
as long as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work. Legal
133+
Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names,
134+
trademarks, service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as required for
135+
reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
136+
reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
137+
138+
## 6. Chain of Authorship
139+
140+
The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted
141+
hereunder is owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
142+
power and authority to grant the Licence.
143+
144+
Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings
145+
to the Work are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
146+
power and authority to grant the Licence.
147+
148+
Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent
149+
Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the
150+
terms of this Licence.
151+
152+
## 7. Disclaimer of Warranty
153+
154+
The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous
155+
Contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects or
156+
‘bugs’ inherent to this type of development.
157+
158+
For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an ‘as is’ basis
159+
and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without
160+
limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects
161+
or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other than
162+
copyright as stated in Article 6 of this Licence.
163+
164+
This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition
165+
for the grant of any rights to the Work.
166+
167+
## 8. Disclaimer of Liability
168+
169+
Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
170+
persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect,
171+
material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use
172+
of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work
173+
stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial
174+
damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such
175+
damage. However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability
176+
laws as far such laws apply to the Work.
177+
178+
## 9. Additional agreements
179+
180+
While distributing the Work, You may choose to conclude an additional agreement,
181+
defining obligations or services consistent with this Licence. However, if
182+
accepting obligations, You may act only on your own behalf and on your sole
183+
responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any other Contributor,
184+
and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless
185+
for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by
186+
the fact You have accepted any warranty or additional liability.
187+
188+
## 10. Acceptance of the Licence
189+
190+
The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon ‘I agree’
191+
placed under the bottom of a window displaying the text of this Licence or by
192+
affirming consent in any other similar way, in accordance with the rules of
193+
applicable law. Clicking on that icon indicates your clear and irrevocable
194+
acceptance of this Licence and all of its terms and conditions.
195+
196+
Similarly, you irrevocably accept this Licence and all of its terms and
197+
conditions by exercising any rights granted to You by Article 2 of this Licence,
198+
such as the use of the Work, the creation by You of a Derivative Work or the
199+
Distribution or Communication by You of the Work or copies thereof.
200+
201+
## 11. Information to the public
202+
203+
In case of any Distribution or Communication of the Work by means of electronic
204+
communication by You (for example, by offering to download the Work from a
205+
remote location) the distribution channel or media (for example, a website) must
206+
at least provide to the public the information requested by the applicable law
207+
regarding the Licensor, the Licence and the way it may be accessible, concluded,
208+
stored and reproduced by the Licensee.
209+
210+
## 12. Termination of the Licence
211+
212+
The Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon
213+
any breach by the Licensee of the terms of the Licence.
214+
215+
Such a termination will not terminate the licences of any person who has
216+
received the Work from the Licensee under the Licence, provided such persons
217+
remain in full compliance with the Licence.
218+
219+
## 13. Miscellaneous
220+
221+
Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete
222+
agreement between the Parties as to the Work.
223+
224+
If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
225+
law, this will not affect the validity or enforceability of the Licence as a
226+
whole. Such provision will be construed or reformed so as necessary to make it
227+
valid and enforceable.
228+
229+
The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions or new versions of
230+
this Licence or updated versions of the Appendix, so far this is required and
231+
reasonable, without reducing the scope of the rights granted by the Licence.
232+
New versions of the Licence will be published with a unique version number.
233+
234+
All linguistic versions of this Licence, approved by the European Commission,
235+
have identical value. Parties can take advantage of the linguistic version of
236+
their choice.
237+
238+
## 14. Jurisdiction
239+
240+
Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
241+
242+
- any litigation resulting from the interpretation of this License, arising
243+
between the European Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, as a
244+
Licensor, and any Licensee, will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court
245+
of Justice of the European Union, as laid down in article 272 of the Treaty on
246+
the Functioning of the European Union,
247+
248+
- any litigation arising between other parties and resulting from the
249+
interpretation of this License, will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
250+
of the competent court where the Licensor resides or conducts its primary
251+
business.
252+
253+
## 15. Applicable Law
254+
255+
Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
256+
257+
- this Licence shall be governed by the law of the European Union Member State
258+
where the Licensor has his seat, resides or has his registered office,
259+
260+
- this licence shall be governed by Belgian law if the Licensor has no seat,
261+
residence or registered office inside a European Union Member State.
262+
