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. + +Appendix + +‘Compatible Licences’ according to Article 5 EUPL are: + +- GNU General Public License (GPL) v. 2, v. 3 +- GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) v. 3 +- Open Software License (OSL) v. 2.1, v. 3.0 +- Eclipse Public License (EPL) v. 1.0 +- CeCILL v. 2.0, v. 2.1 +- Mozilla Public Licence (MPL) v. 2 +- GNU Lesser General Public Licence (LGPL) v. 2.1, v. 3 +- Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike v. 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) for + works other than software +- European Union Public Licence (EUPL) v. 1.1, v. 1.2 +- Québec Free and Open-Source Licence — Reciprocity (LiLiQ-R) or Strong + Reciprocity (LiLiQ-R+). + +The European Commission may update this Appendix to later versions of the +above licences without producing a new version of the EUPL, as long as they +provide the rights granted in Article 2 of this Licence and protect the +covered Source Code from exclusive appropriation. + +All other changes or additions to this Appendix require the production of a +new EUPL version. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/readme.md b/readme.md index 11c1733f8..80256560a 100644 --- a/readme.md +++ b/readme.md @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ See [here](https://kno.wled.ge/basics/compatible-hardware)! ## ✌️ Other -Licensed under the MIT license +Licensed under the EUPL v1.2 license Credits [here](https://kno.wled.ge/about/contributors/)!
