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:<u></u><u></u></span></p>

account consumer's rights effectively to provide the minimum

<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"

flexible. </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"><span> </span>With

<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.<u></u><u></u></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">Even if CeCILL is submitted to the French Law, it
<span> </span>was written to be
conformant to the relevant European directives and regulations
(directive on the legal protection of computer programs,
directive on unfair terms in consumer contracts, directive on
the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative
provisions of the Member States concerning liability for
defective products, convention on the law applicable to
contractual obligations, and regulation on jurisdiction and
the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and
commercial matters). That makes it as close as possible to
what a multinational (European) license can be now.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

given its Free Software status, which may make it complicated

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
