573. Communication of the Source Code
58The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form, or as Executable Code. If
59the Work is provided as Executable Code, the Licensor provides in addition a machinereadable copy of the Source Code of the Work along with each copy of the Work that the
60Licensor distributes or indicates, in a notice following the copyright notice attached to the

65or limitation to the exclusive rights of the rights owners in the Original Work or Software, of
66the exhaustion of those rights or of other applicable limitations thereto.
675. Obligations of the Licensee
68The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and obligations

81Compatible Licence, this Distribution and/or Communication can be done under the terms of
82this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause, “Compatible Licence” refers to the
83licences listed in the appendix attached to this Licence. Should the Licensee’s obligations
84under the Compatible Licence conflict with his/her obligations under this Licence, the
85obligations of the Compatible Licence shall prevail.
86Provision of Source Code: When distributing and/or communicating copies of the Work, the
87Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or indicate a repository
88where this Source will be easily and freely available for as long as the Licensee continues to

91service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as required for reasonable and customary use
92in describing the origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
936. Chain of Authorship
94The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted hereunder is
95owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the power and authority to grant
96the Licence.
97Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings to the Work
98are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the power and authority to
99grant the Licence.
100Each time You, as a Licensee, receive the Work, the original Licensor and subsequent
101Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the terms of this
102Licence.
1037. Disclaimer of Warranty
104The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous contributors. It
105is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects or “bugs” inherent to this type of
106software development.
107For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an “as is” basis and without
108warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without limitation merchantability,
109fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of
110intellectual 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
111any rights to the Work.
1128. Disclaimer of Liability
113Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural persons, the
114Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect, material or moral, damages of
115any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use of the Work, including without limitation,
116damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or
117any commercial damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such
118damage. However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws as far such
119laws apply to the Work.
1209. Additional agreements
121While distributing the Original Work or Derivative Works, You may choose to conclude an
122additional agreement to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty,
123indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or services consistent with this Licence.
124However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on your own behalf and on your
125sole responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any other Contributor, and only if
126You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred
127by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by the fact You have accepted any such
128warranty or additional liability.
12910. Acceptance of the Licence

143the public the information requested by the applicable law regarding the identification and
144address of the Licensor, the Licence and the way it may be accessible, concluded, stored and
145reproduced by the Licensee.
14612. Termination of the Licence
147The Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by
148the Licensee of the terms of the Licence.
149Such a termination will not terminate the licences of any person who has received the Work
150from the Licensee under the Licence, provided such persons remain in full compliance with
151the Licence. 13. Miscellaneous
152Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete agreement between
153the Parties as to the Work licensed hereunder.
154If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, this will not
155affect the validity or enforceability of the Licence as a whole. Such provision will be
156construed and/or reformed so as necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
157The European Commission may put into force translations and/or binding new versions of
158this Licence, so far this is required and reasonable. New versions of the Licence will be
