CeCILL-C FREE SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Notice
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This Agreement is a Free Software license agreement that is the result
|
|||
|
of discussions between its authors in order to ensure compliance with
|
|||
|
the two main principles guiding its drafting:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* firstly, compliance with the principles governing the distribution
|
|||
|
of Free Software: access to source code, broad rights granted to
|
|||
|
users,
|
|||
|
* secondly, the election of a governing law, French law, with which
|
|||
|
it is conformant, both as regards the law of torts and
|
|||
|
intellectual property law, and the protection that it offers to
|
|||
|
both authors and holders of the economic rights over software.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The authors of the CeCILL-C (for Ce[a] C[nrs] I[nria] L[logiciel] L[ibre])
|
|||

|||
|
Preamble
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The purpose of this Free Software license agreement is to grant users the
|
|||
|
right to modify and re-use the software governed by this license.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The exercising of this right is conditional on the obligation to make
|
|||
|
available to the community the modifications made to the source code of the
|
|||
|
software so as to contribute to its evolution.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In consideration of access to the source code and the rights to copy,
|
|||
|
modify and redistribute granted by the license, users are provided only
|
|||
|
with a limited warranty and the software's author, the holder of the
|
|||
|
economic rights, and the successive licensors only have limited liability.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In this respect, the risks associated with loading, using, modifying
|
|||
|
and/or developing or reproducing the software by the user are brought to
|
|||
|
the user's attention, given its Free Software status, which may make it
|
|||
|
complicated to use, with the result that its use is reserved for
|
|||
|
developers and experienced professionals having in-depth computer
|
|||
|
knowledge. Users are therefore encouraged to load and test the suitability
|
|||
|
of the software as regards their requirements in conditions enabling the
|
|||
|
security of their systems and/or data to be ensured and, more generally, to
|
|||
|
use and operate it in the same conditions of security. This Agreement may be
|
|||
|
freely reproduced and published, provided it is not altered, and that no
|
|||
|
provisions are either added or removed herefrom.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This Agreement may apply to any or all software for which the holder of
|
|||
|
the economic rights decides to submit the use thereof to its provisions.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|
|||
|

Article 9 - WARRANTY
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
9.1 The Licensee acknowledges that the scientific and technical
|
|||
|
state-of-the-art when the Software was distributed did not enable all
|
|||
|
possible uses to be tested and verified, nor for the presence of
|
|||
|
possible defects to be detected. In this respect, the Licensee's
|
|||
|
attention has been drawn to the risks associated with loading, using,
|
|||
|
modifying and/or developing and reproducing the Software which are
|
|||
|
reserved for experienced users.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Licensee shall be responsible for verifying, by any or all means,
|
|||
|
the suitability of the product for its requirements, its good working order,
|
|||
|
and for ensuring that it shall not cause damage to either persons or
|
|||
|
properties.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
9.2 The Licensor hereby represents, in good faith, that it is entitled
|
|||
|
to grant all the rights over the Software (including in particular the
|
|||
|
rights set forth in Article 5).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
9.3 The Licensee acknowledges that the Software is supplied "as is" by
|
|||
|
the Licensor without any other express or tacit warranty, other than
|
|||
|
that provided for in Article 9.2 and, in particular, without any warranty
|
|||
|
as to its commercial value, its secured, safe, innovative or relevant
|
|||
|
nature.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Specifically, the Licensor does not warrant that the Software is free
|
|||
|
from any error, that it will operate without interruption, that it will
|
|||
|
be compatible with the Licensee's own equipment and software
|
|||
|
configuration, nor that it will meet the Licensee's requirements.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
9.4 The Licensor does not either expressly or tacitly warrant that the
|
|||
|
Software does not infringe any third party intellectual property right
|
|||
|
relating to a patent, software or any other property right. Therefore,
|
|||
|
