38	meant to be interpreted by a computer as a program.

53	person.
54
55	2. Scope of the rights granted by the Licence
56
57	The Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,

69	- sublicense rights in the Work or copies thereof.
70
71	Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports and formats, whether now
72	known or later invented, as far as the applicable law permits so.
73
74	In the countries where moral rights apply, the Licensor waives his right to
75	exercise his moral right to the extent allowed by law in order to make effective
76	the licence of the economic rights here above listed.
77
78	The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non-exclusive usage rights to

80	rights granted on the Work under this Licence.
81
82	3. Communication of the Source Code
83
84	The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form, or as
85	Executable Code. If the Work is provided as Executable Code, the Licensor
86	provides in addition a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Work
87	along with each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates, in
88	a notice following the copyright notice attached to the Work, a repository where
89	the Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the Licensor
90	continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
91
92	4. Limitations on copyright
93
94	Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits from
95	any exception or limitation to the exclusive rights of the rights owners in the
96	Work, of the exhaustion of those rights or of other applicable limitations
97	thereto.
98
99	5. Obligations of the Licensee
100
101	The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and
102	obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those obligations are the following:
103
104	Attribution right: The Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or
105	trademarks notices and all notices that refer to the Licence and to the
106	disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices and a
107	copy of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes or
108	communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry prominent
109	notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
110
111	Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes or communicates copies of the
112	Original Works or Derivative Works, this Distribution or Communication will be
113	done under the terms of this Licence or of a later version of this Licence
114	unless the Original Work is expressly distributed only under this version of the
115	Licence — for example by communicating ‘EUPL v. 1.2 only’. The Licensee
116	(becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on
117	the Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.
118
119	Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative
120	Works or copies thereof based upon both the Work and another work licensed under
121	a Compatible Licence, this Distribution or Communication can be done under the
122	terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause, ‘Compatible
123	Licence’ refers to the licences listed in the appendix attached to this Licence.
124	Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict with
125	his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations of the Compatible
126	Licence shall prevail.
127
128	Provision of Source Code: When distributing or communicating copies of the Work,
129	the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or indicate
130	a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available for as long
131	as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
132
133	Legal 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 damage.
175	However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws as
176	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

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.
