  51. Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports and formats, whether

  63. each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates, in a notice
  64. following the copyright notice attached to the Work, a repository where the
  65. Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the Licensor continues
  66. to distribute and/or communicate the Work.
  67. 4. Limitations on copyright
  68. Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits
  69. from any exception or limitation to the exclusive rights of the rights owners

  72. 5. Obligations of the Licensee
  73. The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and
  74. obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those obligations are the following:
  75. Attribution right: the Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or
  76. trademarks notices and all notices that refer to the Licence and to the disclaimer
  77. of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices and a copy
  78. of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes and/or communicates.
  79. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry prominent notices stating
  80. that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
  81. Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes and/or communicates copies of
  82. the Original Works or Derivative Works based upon the Original Work, this
  83. Distribution and/or Communication will be done under the terms of this Licence
  84. or of a later version of this Licence unless the Original Work is expressly
  85. distributed only under this version of the Licence. The Licensee (becoming
  86. Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on the
  87. Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.
  88. Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes and/or Communicates Derivative
  89. Works or copies thereof based upon both the Original Work and another work
  90. licensed under a Compatible Licence, this Distribution and/or Communication
  91. can be done under the terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this
  92. clause, "Compatible Licence," refers to the licences listed in the appendix
  93. attached to this Licence. Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible
  94. Licence conflict with his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations
  95. of the Compatible Licence shall prevail.
  96. Provision of Source Code: When distributing and/or communicating copies of
  97. the Work, the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source
  98. Code or indicate a repository where this Source will be easily and freely
  99. available for as long as the Licensee continues to distribute and/or communicate
  100. the Work.
  101. Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade
  102. names, trademarks, service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as required
  103. for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
  104. reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
  105. 6. Chain of Authorship
  106. The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted
  107. hereunder is owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
  108. power and authority to grant the Licence.
  109. Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings
  110. to the Work are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has
  111. the power and authority to grant the Licence.
  112. Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent Contributors
  113. grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the terms of
  114. this Licence.
  115. 7. Disclaimer of Warranty
  116. The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous
  117. contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects
  118. or "bugs" inherent to this type of software development.
  119. For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an "as is"
  120. basis and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without
  121. limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects
  122. or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other
  123. than copyright as stated in Article 6 of this Licence.
  124. This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition
  125. for the grant of any rights to the Work.
  126. 8. Disclaimer of Liability
  127. Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
  128. persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect,
  129. material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the
  130. use of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill,
  131. work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial
  132. damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
  133. However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws
  134. as far such laws apply to the Work.
  135. 9. Additional agreements
  136. While distributing the Original Work or Derivative Works, You may choose to
  137. conclude an additional agreement to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance
  138. of support, warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or services
  139. consistent with this Licence. However, in accepting such obligations, You
  140. may act only on your own behalf and on your sole responsibility, not on behalf
  141. of the original Licensor or any other Contributor, and only if You agree to
  142. indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred
  143. by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by the fact You have accepted
  144. any such warranty or additional liability.
  145. 10. Acceptance of the Licence
  146. The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon "I agree"
  147. placed under the bottom of a window displaying the text of this Licence or
  148. by affirming consent in any other similar way, in accordance with the rules

  154. and/or Communication by You of the Work or copies thereof.
  155. 11. Information to the public
  156. In case of any Distribution and/or Communication of the Work by means of electronic
  157. communication by You (for example, by offering to download the Work from a
  158. remote location) the distribution channel or media (for example, a website)
  159. must at least provide to the public the information requested by the applicable
  160. law regarding the Licensor, the Licence and the way it may be accessible,
  161. concluded, stored and reproduced by the Licensee.
  162. 12. Termination of the Licence
  163. The Licence and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically
  164. upon any breach by the Licensee of the terms of the Licence. Such a termination
  165. will not terminate the licences of any person who has received the Work from
  166. the Licensee under the Licence, provided such persons remain in full compliance
  167. with the Licence.
  168. 13. Miscellaneous
  169. Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete
  170. agreement between the Parties as to the Work licensed hereunder.
  171. If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable

  174. to make it valid and enforceable.
  175. The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions and/or new versions

  184. between the European Commission, as a Licensor, and any Licensee, will be

  186. as laid down in article 238 of the Treaty establishing the European Community.
  187. Any litigation arising between Parties, other than the European Commission,

  190. or conducts its primary business.
