[COPYRIGHT MENTION]

The work that the present document is distributed with and/or attached to is governed by the present Xyrop Open License (hereafter the "XOL"), which determines the rights, permissions, restrictions, sanctions for non-compliance and warranties for its use and reuse.

This work is hereafter designated "Covered Work".

# A. Granted rights

- the right to redistribute the Covered Work or copies thereof in any manner, in part or in whole, with or without modification, for free or for a fee, to any third-parties which are not Violators pursuant to section "D. Non-compliance" of the XOL.

When the Covered Work is a software program, regardless of its form (whether under human-readable, source code form or under binary object form), the following additional rights are also irrevocably granted to the recipient without any technical, temporal or spatial limits:
- the right to receive a full, non-obfuscated copy of the human-readable and human-editable source code of the Covered Work, which must strictly correspond to the binary form of the Covered Work received by the recipient;

- the right to execute the modified Covered Work and to effectively benefit from the results of said execution;
- the right to redistribute the Covered Work or copies thereof in any manner, with or without modification, for free or for a fee, to any third-parties which are not Violators pursuant to section "D. Non-compliance" of the XOL. In the previous sentence, "to redistribute" means making directly or indirectly available the Covered Work for compilation, interpretation, modification and/or execution, including but not limited to providing a copy or the means of execution of the Covered Work to a recipient, whether this recipient is aware or not of the provision of this copy or of these means of execution, as well as remote interaction with the Covered Work either directly or indirectly through an API or any other kind of technical or non-technical interface.

For the purpose of complying with the Berne Convention, the rights granted to the recipient by the copyright holders are the worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable rights to reproduce, display, execute, modify, adapt, translate, arrange, and distribute the Covered Work, subject to the conditions therein. To the extent permitted by enforceable laws, the XOL must be construed as a perpetual and irrevocable agreement between the copyright holders and each recipient. If qualification as a perpetual and irrevocable agreement is not possible pursuant to enforceable laws or interpretation by the courts, the copyright holders declare in good faith that the present license can also be construed a perpetual and irrevocable offer between them and any recipient of the Covered Work for the conclusion of such an agreement. The copyright holders further declare that acceptance by the recipient of the restrictions provided in "C. Restrictions", which is materialized by the exercise of the rights pursuant to the present section, constitutes a reasonable and sufficient consideration, neither excessive nor nominal, for the conclusion of said agreement.

Pursuant to applicable patent laws, if any aspect or feature of the Covered Work is subject to a patent claim by its copyright holders, the rights granted to the recipient by the copyright holders include benefiting from a worldwide, perpetual, and irrevocable patent license to study, use, modify, redistribute and exploit this patented aspect or feature of the Covered Work in a manner allowing the recipient to effectively exert any and all granted rights pursuant to the present section as well as provide any and all permissions pursuant to section "B. Permissions".

# B. Permissions

The XOL allows:
- combination of any part of the Covered Work with any other work under any license, this combination being performed through any technical or other means (software or hardware), as well as being used in part or in whole as a dataset for training and refining any existing machine learning, neural network or AI-based system (hereafter the "AI training operation"). The aforementioned combination, any output (software or other) resulting from the AI training operation, and any output generated from a software program which itself results from the AI training operation are herein indifferently designated as the "Result" ;
- redistribution of the Result provided that the Result is governed either by the XOL itself, or by any other license (hereafter designated as a "Secondary License") under the condition that this Secondary License allows any recipient of the Result to execute, study, reproduce, modify the Result, use it in part or in whole to train an AI-based system, as well as redistribute said Result in any manner, with or without modification. If the Result is a software program, the Secondary License must allow the recipient to exert these rights both regarding the source and binary form of the Result.

# C. Restrictions

The XOL forbids:
- deletion of any existing paternity notices indicating the copyright holders and authors of the Covered Work;
- any act or omission which would directly or indirectly either challenge, or incur misattribution of, the paternity, authorship and/or copyright for the Covered Work;
- when redistributing a Covered Work or Result, failing to inform any recipient that the Covered Work is governed by the XOL, or to provide either the full text of the XOL or access to said full text;
- any act or omission, regardless of motive, nature or practical implementation, which would restrict a recipient or potential recipient from exerting any right pursuant to any section of the XOL, or which would require a recipient or potential recipient, as an additional condition for effectively benefitting from any section of the XOL or using the Covered Work or Result pursuant to the XOL, to perform any act other than receiving the Covered Work or Result under the conditions of the XOL, to abstain from any act other than the restrictions provided in the present section, or to waive the benefit of any provision of the XOL;
- interpreting any of the provisions of the XOL in a manner which would prevent a recipient or potential recipient from being granted, or from effectively exercising, or from effectively benefitting from the results of, some or all of the rights pursuant to section "A. Granted rights" or some or all of the permissions pursuant to section "B. Permissions";
- redistribution of a Covered Work, in whole or in part, original or modified, under a license other than the XOL;
- sublicensing part or whole of the Covered Work. Any part of the Covered Work must remain governed by the XOL;
- redistribution of a Result under a license other than the XOL except under a Secondary License in the manner specified in section "B. Permissions".

Any recipient of the Covered Work knowingly or unknowingly performing one of the acts or omissions enumerated in the present clause is in non-compliance of the XOL, and incurs immediate application of section "D. Non-compliance".

# D. Non-compliance

Any non-compliance, by a recipient of the Covered Work (in part or in whole, directly or indirectly, and whether or not included in a Result), with section "C. Restrictions" incurs the following:
- as soon as the recipient receives a notification of its non-compliance with the XOL from the copyright holders, the recipient retroactively aquires the status of Violator from the date of its first non-compliance, until such time as this status is revoked;
- a recipient with Violator status is forbidden, from the date of its first non-compliance, to exert, either directly or indirectly, any rights enumerated in section "A. Granted rights", relative to any present, past or future version of the Covered Work, even upon request by a legitimate recipient of the Covered Work, except for the sole purpose of directly remedying the non-compliance. If the date of the first non-compliance is unknown and/or unknowable, the date of the first non-compliance is deemed to be that of the first discovery of the non-compliance by either the copyright holders or any third party.

A Violator may never directly or indirectly reacquire any rights as enumerated in section "A. Granted rights" without first obtaining revocation of its Violator status. Any entity knowingly enabling or encouraging a Violator to exert the rights enumerated in section "A. Granted rights" also automatically acquires the Violator status from the date of the first Violator's non-compliance, and is itself subject to any and all provisions of the present section.

Revocation of Violator status is never automatic nor implied and may be obtained by performing the following steps:
Step 1:
- spontaneous repair of the non-compliance by the Violator; OR
- upon duly substantiated notification to the Violator of the non-compliance by the copyright holders, repair of the non-compliance by the Violator within the next calendar month following the date of the notification (e.g. if a notification was received on the second week of january, the Violator has until the last day of the month of february to repair the non-compliance). Notification of a non-compliance by the copyright holders is only deemed legitimate provided that it indicates the nature of the non-compliance as well as substantiated facts relating hereto. In the case of a legitimate notification, the burden of proof of compliance with the XOL and/or of the repair of the non-compliance rests entirely on the Violator;
Step 2:
- petitioning the copyright holder for revocation of the Violator status, by providing definite proof that the non-compliance was non-existent or was repaired within the aforementioned time period;
Step 3:
- receiving a clear confirmation by the copyright holders that the Violator status is revoked. The copyright holders are under no obligation to revoke a Violator status, and may instead confirm it.

Revocation of Violator status does not have any retroactive effect. Any actions or omissions regarding part or the whole of the Covered Work which were have been exerted by a recipient while under a Violator status and which would require some or all of the rights enumerated under section "A. Granted rights" remain illicit and may incur prosecution by the copyright holders.
