We would like to use a classifier for EUPL licensed work:
EUPL is an OSI approved F/OSS license which is approved by the European
Commission:
http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/eupl.
"License :: OSI Approved :: European Union Public License (EUPL)"
Can you name a few packages that would be classified under this classifier?
Sure, we'd like to use the classifier for the following packages which
are already on pypi:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/slc.aggregation
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/slc.editonpro
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/slc.publications
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/slc.seminarportal
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/slc.shoppinglist
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/slc.xliff
The EUPL license has been added to these products in our repository, but
we have not released new packages yet, hence the query. We will
certainly have more packages in the future which could also use it.
I have noticed another package which has nothing to do with us but which
also is licensed under the EUPL:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rsa
http://forge.osor.eu/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=178&discrim=307
lists 3 additional Python projects which are using the license.
According to: http://www.osor.eu/eupl/introduction-to-the-eupl-project
the EUPL was created to satisfy the following requirements of the
European Commission:
# The Licence should have equal legal value in many languages;
# The terminology regarding intellectual property rights had to be
conformant with European law requirements ;
# To be valid in all Member States, limitations of liability or warranty
had to be precise, and not formulated “to the extend allowed by the law”
as in most licences designed with the legal environment of the United
States in mind.
Since we have clients who are requesting that we use this license
specifically, it would be nice if we could use the classifier.
Please let me know if you would like any further information to support
this.
Thanks,
Cillian de Róiste
