                      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.
