.
The purpose of this Free Software license agreement is to grant users

The exercising of this right is conditional upon the obligation to make

modify and redistribute granted by the license, users are provided only

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

developers and experienced professionals having in-depth computer

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,

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.
.

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.

attention has been drawn to the risks associated with loading, using,
modifying and/or developing and reproducing the Software which are

the suitability of the product for its requirements, its good working
order, and for ensuring that it shall not cause damage to either persons

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

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])

.
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.
.
