    1.10 +This Agreement is a Free Software license agreement that is the result
    1.11 +of discussions between its authors in order to ensure compliance with
    1.12 +the two main principles guiding its drafting:
    1.13 +
    1.14 +    * firstly, compliance with the principles governing the distribution
    1.15 +      of Free Software: access to source code, broad rights granted to
    1.16 +      users,
    1.17 +    * secondly, the election of a governing law, French law, with which
    1.18 +      it is conformant, both as regards the law of torts and
    1.19 +      intellectual property law, and the protection that it offers to
    1.20 +      both authors and holders of the economic rights over software.

    1.39 +    Preamble
    1.40 +
    1.41 +The purpose of this Free Software license agreement is to grant users the
    1.42 +right to modify and re-use the software governed by this license. 
    1.43 +
    1.44 +The exercising of this right is conditional on the obligation to make
    1.45 +available to the community the modifications made to the source code of the
    1.46 +software so as to contribute to its evolution. 
    1.47 +
    1.48 +In consideration of access to the source code and the rights to copy,

    1.52 +
    1.53 +In this respect, the risks associated with loading, using, modifying
    1.54 +and/or developing or reproducing the software by the user are brought to
    1.55 +the user's attention, given its Free Software status, which may make it
    1.56 +complicated to use, with the result that its use is reserved for
    1.57 +developers and experienced professionals having in-depth computer
    1.58 +knowledge. Users are therefore encouraged to load and test the suitability
    1.59 +of the software as regards their requirements in conditions enabling the
    1.60 +security of their systems and/or data to be ensured and, more generally, to
    1.61 +use and operate it in the same conditions of security. This Agreement may be
    1.62 +freely reproduced and published, provided it is not altered, and that no
    1.63 +provisions are either added or removed herefrom.

   1.403 +as to its commercial value, its secured, safe, innovative or relevant 
   1.404 +nature.
   1.405 +
   1.406 +Specifically, the Licensor does not warrant that the Software is free
   1.407 +from any error, that it will operate without interruption, that it will

   1.414 +the Licensor disclaims any and all liability towards the Licensee
   1.415 +arising out of any or all proceedings for infringement that may be
   1.416 +instituted in respect of the use, modification and redistribution of the

   1.418 +the Licensee, the Licensor shall provide it with technical and legal
   1.419 +assistance for its defense. Such technical and legal assistance shall be
   1.420 +decided on a case-by-case basis between the relevant Licensor and the
   1.421 +Licensee pursuant to a memorandum of understanding. The Licensor
   1.422 +disclaims any and all liability as regards the Licensee's use of the
   1.423 +name of the Software. No warranty is given as regards the existence of
   1.424 +prior rights over the name of the Software or as regards the existence
   1.425 +of a trademark.
