63Code. If the Work is provided as Executable Code, the Licensor provides in addition a

70Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits from any
71exception or limitation to the exclusive rights of the rights owners in the Original
72Work or Software, of the exhaustion of those rights or of other applicable limitations
73thereto.
745. Obligations of the Licensee
75The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and obligations

84Original Works or Derivative Works based upon the Original Work, this Distribution
85and/or Communication will be done under the terms of this Licence or of a later

87this version of the Licence. The Licensee (becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose
88any additional terms or conditions on the Work or Derivative Work that alter or
89restrict the terms of the Licence.
90Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes and/or Communicates Derivative
91Works or copies thereof based upon both the Original Work and another work
92licensed under a Compatible Licence, this Distribution and/or Communication can be
93done under the terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause,
94“Compatible Licence” refers to the licences listed in the appendix attached to this

99Work, the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or
100indicate a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available for as long
101as the Licensee continues to distribute and/or communicate the Work.
102Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names,

105the content of the copyright notice.
1066. Chain of Authorship

114grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the terms of this
115Licence.
1167. Disclaimer of Warranty
117The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous
118contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects or “bugs”
119inherent to this type of software development.
120For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an “as is” basis and
121without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without limitation
122merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects or errors,
123accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other than copyright as
124stated in Article 6 of this Licence.
125This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition for the
126grant of any rights to the Work.
1278. Disclaimer of Liability
128Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
129persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect, material or
130moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use of the Work,
131including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer
132failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial damage, even if the Licensor
133has been advised of the possibility of such damage. However, the Licensor will be
134liable under statutory product liability laws as far such laws apply to the Work.
1359. Additional agreements

137conclude an additional agreement to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support,
138warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or services consistent with this
139Licence. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on your own
140behalf and on your sole responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any
141other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each
142Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against such
143Contributor by the fact You have accepted any such warranty or additional liability.
