GPL but it cannot be seen as duplicative for the following
reasons. We believe that CeCILL is worth adding as an Open
Source license because it addresses the corresponding problems
not addressed by the GPL: better and safer legal foundation
(at least in Europe), better protection of the programmer and
clearer mechanisms:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">- from a legal point of view, at least by
referring to a specific law, CeCILL is very different.
Moreover, the liability clause of CeCILL is taking into
account consumer's rights effectively to provide the minimum
level of liability for the programmer</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">- for developers, the notions of "covered work"
and “aggregate” are different than the mechanism of</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"> “external modules” and “internal modules” more
flexible. </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"><span> </span>With
CeCILL, the programmer can choose to develop an internal
module if he wants to distribute its development under CeCILL

he prefers to choose another license for this module. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">- The mention of a (reasonable) applicable law
considerably reduces the risk of having a judge declare some
provisions of the license invalid or interpret some provisions
differently from the intent of the authors of the license. The
Munich court that examined in 2004 the GPL determined that
German law should apply but nevertheless was not able to tell
whether some clauses of the GPL are really valid or not
(according to the German Copyright Act). That examplifies
legal risks of the GPL, at least in Europe.</span></p>
