Another example of pointless EU money waste ... there already such license exists and its called BSD license ... and its already translated to all EU members languages and works in their legislate/law systems.
Its literally two sentences saying that:
- keep the info who wrote it
- do whatever you like with it - no guarantee included
What better license do you need for really free and open software?
... and as usual - the EU fucked up to do their job properly - as they fail to add 'BSD ' license in their "Appendix- Compatible Licenses" part of the EUPL license - while BSD license is compatible with EVERYTHING.
I would say "I am disappointed" - but that would mean that I not expect this ...
@vermaden EUPL is a copyleft license, while BSD a permissive one. So they are very different.
EUPL is similar to a merge between LGPLv3+ and Affero GPL: like in Affero, if you use an EUPL library in a cloud service, you had to release improvements to the EUPL library under EUPL; but like in LGPL, you can maintain your product code propietary.
It is a rather clear license to read (simpler than the GPL), except the the differences between derivative-work and distinct product.
I'm writing this, because up to date EUPL is may favorite license :-)
