|  |              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]) | |||
|  | license are: | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | Commissariat <20> l'Energie Atomique - CEA, a public scientific, technical | |||
|  | and industrial research establishment, having its principal place of  | |||
|  | business at 25 rue Leblanc, immeuble Le Ponant D, 75015 Paris, France. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique - CNRS, a public scientific | |||
|  | and technological establishment, having its principal place of business | |||
|  | at 3 rue Michel-Ange, 75794 Paris cedex 16, France. | |||

|  | INRIA, a public scientific and technological establishment, having its | |||
|  | principal place of business at Domaine de Voluceau, Rocquencourt, BP | |||
|  | 105, 78153 Le Chesnay cedex, France. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |     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. | |||

|  | forth in this paragraph. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |       5.1 RIGHT OF USE | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | The Licensee is authorized to use the Software, without any limitation | |||

|  | or unmodified Software to third parties according to the terms and | |||
|  | conditions set forth hereinafter. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |         5.3.1 DISTRIBUTION OF SOFTWARE WITHOUT MODIFICATION | |||
|  | 
 | |||

|  | Source Code or Object Code form, provided that said distribution | |||
|  | complies with all the provisions of the Agreement and is accompanied by: | |||
|  | 
 | |||

|  | 
 | |||

|  |    2. a notice relating to the limitation of both the Licensor's warranty and | |||
|  |       liability as set forth in Articles 8 and 9,  | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | and that, in the event that only the object code of the Modified Software is | |||
|  | redistributed, the Licensee allows effective access to the full source code | |||
|  | of the Modified Software at a minimum during the entire period of its | |||
|  | distribution of the Modified Software, it being understood that the | |||
|  | additional cost of acquiring the source code shall not exceed the cost of | |||
|  | transferring the data.  | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |         5.3.3 DISTRIBUTION OF DERIVATIVE SOFTWARE | |||

 | |||
|  | When the Licensee creates Derivative Software, this Derivative Software may | |||
|  | be distributed under a license agreement other than this Agreement, subject | |||
|  | to compliance with the requirement to include a notice concerning the rights | |||
|  | over the Software as defined in Article 6.4. In the event the creation of the | |||
|  | Derivative Software required modification of the Source Code, the Licensee | |||
|  | undertakes that:  | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |    1. the resulting Modified Software will be governed by this Agreement, | |||
|  |    2. the Integrated Contributions in the resulting Modified Software will be | |||
|  |       clearly identified and documented,  | |||
|  |    3. the Licensee will allow effective access to the source code of the | |||
|  |       Modified Software, at a minimum during the entire period of | |||
|  |       distribution of the Derivative Software, such that such modifications | |||
|  |       may be carried over in a subsequent version of the Software; it being | |||
|  |       understood that the additional cost of purchasing the source code of | |||
|  |       the Modified Software shall not exceed the cost of transferring the | |||
|  |       data.   | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |         5.3.4 COMPATIBILITY WITH THE CeCILL LICENSE | |||
|  |   | |||
|  | When a Modified Software contains an Integrated Contribution subject to the | |||
|  | CeCill license agreement, or when a Derivative Software contains a Related | |||
|  | Module subject to the CeCill license agreement, the provisions set forth in | |||
|  | the third item of Article 6.4 are optional.  | |||
|  | 
 | |||

 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |       6.1 OVER THE INITIAL SOFTWARE | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | The Holder owns the economic rights over the Initial Software. Any or | |||
|  | all use of the Initial Software is subject to compliance with the terms | |||
|  | and conditions under which the Holder has elected to distribute its work | |||
|  | and no one shall be entitled to modify the terms and conditions for the | |||
|  | distribution of said Initial Software. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | The Holder undertakes that the Initial Software will remain ruled at | |||
|  | least by the current license, for the duration set forth in Article 4.2. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |       6.2 OVER THE INTEGRATED CONTRIBUTIONS | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | A Licensee who develops an Integrated Contribution is the owner of the | |||
|  | intellectual property rights over this Contribution as defined by  | |||
|  | applicable law.  | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |       6.3 OVER THE RELATED MODULES | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | A Licensee who develops an Related Module is the owner of the | |||
|  | intellectual property rights over this Related Module as defined by | |||
|  | applicable law and is free to choose the type of agreement that shall | |||
|  | govern its distribution under the conditions defined in Article 5.3.3. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |       6.4 NOTICE OF RIGHTS | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | The Licensee expressly undertakes: | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |    1. not to remove, or modify, in any manner, the intellectual property | |||
|  |       notices attached to the Software; | |||
|  |    2. to reproduce said notices, in an identical manner, in the copies | |||
|  |       of the Software modified or not; | |||
|  |    3. to ensure that use of the Software, its intellectual property  | |||
|  |       notices and the fact that it is governed by the Agreement is  | |||
|  |       indicated in a text that is easily accessible, specifically from  | |||
|  |       the interface of any Derivative Software.  | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | The Licensee undertakes not to directly or indirectly infringe the | |||
|  | intellectual property rights of the Holder and/or Contributors on the | |||
|  | Software and to take, where applicable, vis-<2D>-vis its staff, any and all | |||
|  | measures required to ensure respect of said intellectual property rights | |||
|  | of the Holder and/or Contributors. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |     Article 7 - RELATED SERVICES | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 7.1 Under no circumstances shall the Agreement oblige the Licensor to | |||
|  | provide technical assistance or maintenance services for the Software. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | However, the Licensor is entitled to offer this type of services. The | |||
|  | terms and conditions of such technical assistance, and/or such | |||
|  | maintenance, shall be set forth in a separate instrument. Only the | |||
|  | Licensor offering said maintenance and/or technical assistance services | |||
|  | shall incur liability therefor. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 7.2 Similarly, any Licensor is entitled to offer to its licensees, under | |||
|  | its sole responsibility, a warranty, that shall only be binding upon | |||
|  | itself, for the redistribution of the Software and/or the Modified | |||
|  | Software, under terms and conditions that it is free to decide. Said | |||
|  | warranty, and the financial terms and conditions of its application, | |||
|  | shall be subject of a separate instrument executed between the Licensor | |||
|  | and the Licensee. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |     Article 8 - LIABILITY | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 8.1 Subject to the provisions of Article 8.2, the Licensee shall be | |||
|  | entitled to claim compensation for any direct loss it may have suffered | |||
|  | from the Software as a result of a fault on the part of the relevant | |||
|  | Licensor, subject to providing evidence thereof. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 8.2 The Licensor's liability is limited to the commitments made under | |||
|  | this Agreement and shall not be incurred as a result of in particular: | |||
|  | (i) loss due the Licensee's total or partial failure to fulfill its | |||
|  | obligations, (ii) direct or consequential loss that is suffered by the | |||
|  | Licensee due to the use or performance of the Software, and (iii) more | |||
|  | generally, any consequential loss. In particular the Parties expressly | |||
|  | agree that any or all pecuniary or business loss (i.e. loss of data, | |||
|  | loss of profits, operating loss, loss of customers or orders, | |||
|  | opportunity cost, any disturbance to business activities) or any or all | |||
|  | legal proceedings instituted against the Licensee by a third party, | |||
|  | shall constitute consequential loss and shall not provide entitlement to | |||
|  | any or all compensation from the Licensor. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |     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, | |||
|  | the Licensor disclaims any and all liability towards the Licensee | |||
|  | arising out of any or all proceedings for infringement that may be | |||
|  | instituted in respect of the use, modification and redistribution of the | |||
|  | Software. Nevertheless, should such proceedings be instituted against | |||
|  | the Licensee, the Licensor shall provide it with technical and legal | |||
|  | assistance for its defense. Such technical and legal assistance shall be | |||
|  | decided on a case-by-case basis between the relevant Licensor and the | |||
|  | Licensee pursuant to a memorandum of understanding. The Licensor | |||
|  | disclaims any and all liability as regards the Licensee's use of the | |||
|  | name of the Software. No warranty is given as regards the existence of | |||
|  | prior rights over the name of the Software or as regards the existence | |||
|  | of a trademark. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |     Article 10 - TERMINATION | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 10.1 In the event of a breach by the Licensee of its obligations | |||
|  | hereunder, the Licensor may automatically terminate this Agreement | |||
|  | thirty (30) days after notice has been sent to the Licensee and has | |||
|  | remained ineffective. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 10.2 A Licensee whose Agreement is terminated shall no longer be | |||
|  | authorized to use, modify or distribute the Software. However, any | |||
|  | licenses that it may have granted prior to termination of the Agreement | |||
|  | shall remain valid subject to their having been granted in compliance | |||
|  | with the terms and conditions hereof. | |||
|  |
