## EUROPEAN UNION PUBLIC LICENCE v. 1.2
EUPL (C) 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 Original 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 Original 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

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
