7 | Notice | ||
8 | |||
9 | This Agreement is a Free Software license agreement that is the result | ||
10 | of discussions between its authors in order to ensure compliance with | ||
11 | the two main principles guiding its drafting: | ||
12 | |||
13 | * firstly, compliance with the principles governing the distribution | ||
14 | of Free Software: access to source code, broad rights granted to users, | ||
15 | * secondly, the election of a governing law, French law, with which it | ||
16 | is conformant, both as regards the law of torts and intellectual | ||
17 | property law, and the protection that it offers to both authors and | ||
18 | holders of the economic rights over software. | ||
19 | |||
20 | The authors of the CeCILL (for Ce[a] C[nrs] I[nria] L[ogiciel] L[ibre]) | ||
21 | license are: | ||

38 | Preamble | ||
39 | |||
40 | The purpose of this Free Software license agreement is to grant users | ||
41 | the right to modify and redistribute the software governed by this | ||
42 | license within the framework of an open source distribution model. | ||
43 | |||
44 | The exercising of this right is conditional upon certain obligations for | ||
45 | users so as to preserve this status for all subsequent redistributions. | ||
46 | |||
47 | In consideration of access to the source code and the rights to copy, | ||
48 | modify and redistribute granted by the license, users are provided only | ||
49 | with a limited warranty and the software's author, the holder of the | ||
50 | economic rights, and the successive licensors only have limited liability. | ||
51 | |||
52 | In this respect, the risks associated with loading, using, modifying | ||
53 | and/or developing or reproducing the software by the user are brought to | ||
54 | the user's attention, given its Free Software status, which may make it | ||
55 | complicated to use, with the result that its use is reserved for | ||
56 | developers and experienced professionals having in-depth computer | ||
57 | knowledge. Users are therefore encouraged to load and test the | ||
58 | suitability of the software as regards their requirements in conditions | ||
59 | enabling the security of their systems and/or data to be ensured and, | ||
60 | more generally, to use and operate it in the same conditions of | ||
61 | security. This Agreement may be freely reproduced and published, | ||
62 | provided it is not altered, and that no provisions are either added or | ||
63 | removed herefrom. | ||
64 | |||
65 | This Agreement may apply to any or all software for which the holder of | ||
66 | the economic rights decides to submit the use thereof to its provisions. | ||
67 | |||

303 | |||
304 | |||
305 | 6.1 OVER THE INITIAL SOFTWARE | ||
306 | |||
307 | The Holder owns the economic rights over the Initial Software. Any or | ||
308 | all use of the Initial Software is subject to compliance with the terms | ||
309 | and conditions under which the Holder has elected to distribute its work | ||
310 | and no one shall be entitled to modify the terms and conditions for the | ||
311 | distribution of said Initial Software. | ||
312 | |||
313 | The Holder undertakes that the Initial Software will remain ruled at | ||
314 | least by this Agreement, for the duration set forth in Article 4.2 <#term>. | ||
315 | |||
316 | |||
317 | 6.2 OVER THE CONTRIBUTIONS | ||
318 | |||
319 | The Licensee who develops a Contribution is the owner of the | ||
320 | intellectual property rights over this Contribution as defined by | ||
321 | applicable law. | ||
322 | |||

348 | |||
349 | Article 7 - RELATED SERVICES | ||
350 | |||
351 | 7.1 Under no circumstances shall the Agreement oblige the Licensor to | ||
352 | provide technical assistance or maintenance services for the Software. | ||
353 | |||
354 | However, the Licensor is entitled to offer this type of services. The | ||
355 | terms and conditions of such technical assistance, and/or such | ||
356 | maintenance, shall be set forth in a separate instrument. Only the | ||
357 | Licensor offering said maintenance and/or technical assistance services | ||
358 | shall incur liability therefor. | ||
359 | |||
360 | 7.2 Similarly, any Licensor is entitled to offer to its licensees, under | ||
361 | its sole responsibility, a warranty, that shall only be binding upon | ||
362 | itself, for the redistribution of the Software and/or the Modified | ||
363 | Software, under terms and conditions that it is free to decide. Said | ||
364 | warranty, and the financial terms and conditions of its application, | ||
365 | shall be subject of a separate instrument executed between the Licensor | ||
366 | and the Licensee. | ||
367 | |||
368 | |||
369 | Article 8 - LIABILITY | ||
370 | |||
371 | 8.1 Subject to the provisions of Article 8.2, the Licensee shall be | ||
372 | entitled to claim compensation for any direct loss it may have suffered | ||
373 | from the Software as a result of a fault on the part of the relevant | ||
374 | Licensor, subject to providing evidence thereof. | ||
375 | |||
376 | 8.2 The Licensor's liability is limited to the commitments made under | ||
377 | this Agreement and shall not be incurred as a result of in particular: | ||
378 | (i) loss due the Licensee's total or partial failure to fulfill its | ||
379 | obligations, (ii) direct or consequential loss that is suffered by the | ||
380 | Licensee due to the use or performance of the Software, and (iii) more | ||
381 | generally, any consequential loss. In particular the Parties expressly | ||
382 | agree that any or all pecuniary or business loss (i.e. loss of data, | ||
383 | loss of profits, operating loss, loss of customers or orders, | ||
384 | opportunity cost, any disturbance to business activities) or any or all | ||
385 | legal proceedings instituted against the Licensee by a third party, | ||
386 | shall constitute consequential loss and shall not provide entitlement to | ||
387 | any or all compensation from the Licensor. | ||
388 | |||
389 | |||
390 | Article 9 - WARRANTY | ||
391 | |||
392 | 9.1 The Licensee acknowledges that the scientific and technical | ||
393 | state-of-the-art when the Software was distributed did not enable all | ||
394 | possible uses to be tested and verified, nor for the presence of | ||
395 | possible defects to be detected. In this respect, the Licensee's | ||
396 | attention has been drawn to the risks associated with loading, using, | ||
397 | modifying and/or developing and reproducing the Software which are | ||
398 | reserved for experienced users. | ||
399 | |||
400 | The Licensee shall be responsible for verifying, by any or all means, | ||
401 | the suitability of the product for its requirements, its good working | ||
402 | order, and for ensuring that it shall not cause damage to either persons | ||
403 | or properties. | ||
404 | |||
405 | 9.2 The Licensor hereby represents, in good faith, that it is entitled | ||
406 | to grant all the rights over the Software (including in particular the | ||
407 | rights set forth in Article 5 <#scope>). | ||
408 | |||
409 | 9.3 The Licensee acknowledges that the Software is supplied "as is" by | ||
410 | the Licensor without any other express or tacit warranty, other than | ||
411 | that provided for in Article 9.2 <#good-faith> and, in particular, | ||
412 | without any warranty as to its commercial value, its secured, safe, | ||
413 | innovative or relevant nature. | ||
414 | |||
415 | Specifically, the Licensor does not warrant that the Software is free | ||
416 | from any error, that it will operate without interruption, that it will | ||
417 | be compatible with the Licensee's own equipment and software | ||
418 | configuration, nor that it will meet the Licensee's requirements. | ||
419 | |||
420 | 9.4 The Licensor does not either expressly or tacitly warrant that the | ||
421 | Software does not infringe any third party intellectual property right | ||
422 | relating to a patent, software or any other property right. Therefore, | ||
423 | the Licensor disclaims any and all liability towards the Licensee | ||
424 | arising out of any or all proceedings for infringement that may be | ||
425 | instituted in respect of the use, modification and redistribution of the | ||
426 | Software. Nevertheless, should such proceedings be instituted against | ||
427 | the Licensee, the Licensor shall provide it with technical and legal | ||
428 | expertise for its defense. Such technical and legal expertise shall be | ||
429 | decided on a case-by-case basis between the relevant Licensor and the | ||
430 | Licensee pursuant to a memorandum of understanding. The Licensor | ||
431 | disclaims any and all liability as regards the Licensee's use of the | ||
432 | name of the Software. No warranty is given as regards the existence of | ||
433 | prior rights over the name of the Software or as regards the existence | ||
434 | of a trademark. | ||
435 | |||
436 | |||
437 | Article 10 - TERMINATION | ||
438 | |||
439 | 10.1 In the event of a breach by the Licensee of its obligations | ||
440 | hereunder, the Licensor may automatically terminate this Agreement | ||
441 | thirty (30) days after notice has been sent to the Licensee and has | ||
442 | remained ineffective. | ||
443 | |||
444 | 10.2 A Licensee whose Agreement is terminated shall no longer be | ||
445 | authorized to use, modify or distribute the Software. However, any | ||
446 | licenses that it may have granted prior to termination of the Agreement | ||
447 | shall remain valid subject to their having been granted in compliance | ||
448 | with the terms and conditions hereof. | ||
449 | |||
450 | |||
451 | Article 11 - MISCELLANEOUS | ||
452 | |||
453 | |||
454 | 11.1 EXCUSABLE EVENTS | ||
455 | |||
456 | Neither Party shall be liable for any or all delay, or failure to | ||
457 | perform the Agreement, that may be attributable to an event of force | ||
458 | majeure, an act of God or an outside cause, such as defective | ||
459 | functioning or interruptions of the electricity or telecommunications | ||
460 | networks, network paralysis following a virus attack, intervention by | ||
461 | government authorities, natural disasters, water damage, earthquakes, | ||
462 | fire, explosions, strikes and labor unrest, war, etc. | ||
463 | |||
464 | 11.2 Any failure by either Party, on one or more occasions, to invoke | ||
465 | one or more of the provisions hereof, shall under no circumstances be | ||
466 | interpreted as being a waiver by the interested Party of its right to | ||
