              The exercising of these rights is conditional upon certain obligations for users so as to ensure that
                 this status is retained for subsequent redistribution operations.
              As a counterpart to the access to the source code and rights to copy, modify and redistribute granted by

                 Software, that may mean that it is complicated to manipulate, and that also therefore means that it is
                 reserved for developers and experienced professionals having in-depth computer knowledge. Users are
                 therefore encouraged to load and test the Software's suitability as regards their requirements in

                 published, provided it is not altered, and that no Articles are either added or removed herefrom.
              This Agreement may apply to any or all software for which the holder of the economic rights decides to
                 submit the operation thereof to its provisions.
