+ Notice |
27 |
+ |
28 |
+This Agreement is a Free Software license agreement that is the result |
29 |
+of discussions between its authors in order to ensure compliance with |
30 |
+the two main principles guiding its drafting: |
31 |
+ |
32 |
+ * firstly, compliance with the principles governing the distribution |
33 |
+ of Free Software: access to source code, broad rights granted to users, |
34 |
+ * secondly, the election of a governing law, French law, with which it |
35 |
+ is conformant, both as regards the law of torts and intellectual |
36 |
+ property law, and the protection that it offers to both authors and |
37 |
+ holders of the economic rights over software. |
38 |
+ |
39 |
+The authors of the CeCILL (for Ce[a] C[nrs] I[nria] L[ogiciel] L[ibre]) |

+ Preamble |
58 |
+ |
59 |
+The purpose of this Free Software license agreement is to grant users |
60 |
+the right to modify and redistribute the software governed by this |
61 |
+license within the framework of an open source distribution model. |
62 |
+ |
63 |
+The exercising of this right is conditional upon certain obligations for |
64 |
+users so as to preserve this status for all subsequent redistributions. |
65 |
+ |
66 |
+In consideration of access to the source code and the rights to copy, |
67 |
+modify and redistribute granted by the license, users are provided only |
68 |
+with a limited warranty and the software's author, the holder of the |
69 |
+economic rights, and the successive licensors only have limited liability. |
70 |
+ |
71 |
+In this respect, the risks associated with loading, using, modifying |
72 |
+and/or developing or reproducing the software by the user are brought to |
73 |
+the user's attention, given its Free Software status, which may make it |
74 |
+complicated to use, with the result that its use is reserved for |
75 |
+developers and experienced professionals having in-depth computer |
76 |
+knowledge. Users are therefore encouraged to load and test the |
77 |
+suitability of the software as regards their requirements in conditions |
78 |
+enabling the security of their systems and/or data to be ensured and, |
79 |
+more generally, to use and operate it in the same conditions of |
80 |
+security. This Agreement may be freely reproduced and published, |
81 |
+provided it is not altered, and that no provisions are either added or |
82 |
+removed herefrom. |
83 |
+ |
84 |
+This Agreement may apply to any or all software for which the holder of |
85 |
+the economic rights decides to submit the use thereof to its provisions. |
86 |
+ |
87 |
+Frequently asked questions can be found on the official website of the |
88 |

410 |
+ |
411 |

+attention has been drawn to the risks associated with loading, using, |
416 |
+modifying and/or developing and reproducing the Software which are |
417 |
+reserved for experienced users. |

422 |
+or properties. |
423 |
+ |
424 |
+9.2 The Licensor hereby represents, in good faith, that it is entitled |
