54	person.

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

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 Licence.
125	Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict with
126	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 Work,
130	the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or indicate
131	a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available for as long
132	as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
133
134	Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names,
135	trademarks, service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as required for
136	reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
137	reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
138
139	6. Chain of Authorship
140
141	The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted
142	hereunder is owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
143	power and authority to grant the Licence.
144
145	Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings
146	to the Work are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
147	power and authority to grant the Licence.
148
149	Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent
150	Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the
151	terms of this Licence.
152
153	7. Disclaimer of Warranty
154
155	The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous
156	Contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects or
157	‘bugs’ inherent to this type of development.
158
159	For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an ‘as is’ basis
160	and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without
161	limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects
162	or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other than
163	copyright as stated in Article 6 of this Licence.
164
165	This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition
166	for the grant of any rights to the Work.
167
168	8. Disclaimer of Liability
169
170	Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
171	persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect,
172	material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use
173	of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work
174	stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial
175	damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
176	However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws as
177	far such laws apply to the Work.
178
179	9. Additional agreements
180
181	While distributing the Work, You may choose to conclude an additional agreement,
182	defining obligations or services consistent with this Licence. However, if
183	accepting obligations, You may act only on your own behalf and on your sole
184	responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any other Contributor,
185	and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless
186	for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by
187	the fact You have accepted any warranty or additional liability.
188

208	regarding the Licensor, the Licence and the way it may be accessible, concluded,
209	stored and reproduced by the Licensee.
210
211	12. Termination of the Licence
212
213	The Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon
214	any breach by the Licensee of the terms of the Licence.
