|  | CeCILL-B 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-B (for Ce[a] C[nrs] I[nria] L[ogiciel] L[ibre]) | ||||||
|  | license are: | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | Commissariat à 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 | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | This Agreement is an open source software license intended to give users | ||||||
|  | significant freedom to modify and redistribute the software licensed | ||||||
|  | hereunder. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | The exercising of this freedom is conditional upon a strong obligation | ||||||
|  | of giving credits for everybody that distributes a software | ||||||
|  | incorporating a software ruled by the current license so as all | ||||||
|  | contributions to be properly identified and acknowledged. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | 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. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||

|  | Software provided that it includes an explicit notice that it is the | ||||||
|  | author of said Contribution and indicates the date of the creation thereof. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |       5.3 RIGHT OF DISTRIBUTION | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | In particular, the right of distribution includes the right to publish, | ||||||

|  |       intellectual property notice and license hereunder are included in | ||||||
|  |       easily accessible format from the Modified Software interface, | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |    3. mention, on a freely accessible website describing the Modified | ||||||
|  |       Software, at least throughout the distribution term thereof, that | ||||||
|  |       it is based on the Software licensed hereunder, and reproduce the | ||||||
|  |       Software intellectual property notice, | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |    4. where it is distributed to a third party that may distribute a | ||||||
|  |       Modified Software without having to make its source code | ||||||
|  |       available, make its best efforts to ensure that said third party | ||||||
|  |       agrees to comply with the obligations set forth in this Article . | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | If the Software, whether or not modified, is distributed with an | ||||||
|  | External Module designed for use in connection with the Software, the | ||||||
|  | Licensee shall submit said External Module to the foregoing obligations. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |         5.3.5 COMPATIBILITY WITH THE CeCILL AND CeCILL-C LICENSES | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | Where a Modified Software contains a Contribution subject to the CeCILL | ||||||
|  | license, the provisions set forth in Article 5.3.4 shall be optional. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | A Modified Software may be distributed under the CeCILL-C license. In | ||||||
|  | such a case the provisions set forth in Article 5.3.4 shall be optional. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |     Article 6 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |       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 this Agreement, for the duration set forth in Article 4.2. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |       6.2 OVER THE CONTRIBUTIONS | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | The Licensee who develops a Contribution is the owner of the | ||||||
|  | intellectual property rights over this Contribution as defined by | ||||||
|  | applicable law. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |       6.3 OVER THE EXTERNAL MODULES | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | The Licensee who develops an External Module is the owner of the | ||||||
|  | intellectual property rights over this External Module as defined by | ||||||
|  | applicable law and is free to choose the type of agreement that shall | ||||||
|  | govern its distribution. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |       6.4 JOINT PROVISIONS | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | 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. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | 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-à-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. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |     Article 11 - MISCELLANEOUS | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  |       11.1 EXCUSABLE EVENTS | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | Neither Party shall be liable for any or all delay, or failure to | ||||||
|  | perform the Agreement, that may be attributable to an event of force | ||||||
|  | majeure, an act of God or an outside cause, such as defective | ||||||
|  | functioning or interruptions of the electricity or telecommunications | ||||||
|  | networks, network paralysis following a virus attack, intervention by | ||||||
|  | government authorities, natural disasters, water damage, earthquakes, | ||||||
|  | fire, explosions, strikes and labor unrest, war, etc. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | 11.2 Any failure by either Party, on one or more occasions, to invoke | ||||||
|  | one or more of the provisions hereof, shall under no circumstances be | ||||||
|  | interpreted as being a waiver by the interested Party of its right to | ||||||
|  | invoke said provision(s) subsequently. | ||||||
|  |  | ||||||
|  | 11.3 The Agreement cancels and replaces any or all previous agreements, | ||||||
|  | whether written or oral, between the Parties and having the same | ||||||
|  | purpose, and constitutes the entirety of the agreement between said | ||||||
