- +
- +
-    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 (for Ce[a] C[nrs] I[nria] L[ogiciel] L[ibre])  +
-license are:  +

- +
-    Preamble +
- +
-The purpose of this Free Software license agreement is to grant users +
-the right to modify and redistribute the software governed by this +
-license within the framework of an open source distribution model. +
- +
-The exercising of this right is conditional upon certain obligations for +
-users so as to preserve this status for all subsequent redistributions. +
- +
-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. +

-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 <#scope>). +

-the Licensor without any other express or tacit warranty, other than +
-that provided for in Article 9.2 <#good-faith> 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 +
-expertise for its defense. Such technical and legal expertise 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 +

-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 +

-with the terms and conditions hereof. +
