EUPL-1.2

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.
