 +<li>
 +secondly, the election of a governing law, French law, with which it is

 +<h2>Preamble</h2>
 +
 +<p>The
 +purpose of this Free Software 
 +license
 +agreement 
 +is to grant users
 +the right to modify and redistribute the software governed by this
 +license within the framework of an open source
 +distribution model.  
 +</p>
 +
 +<p>The
 +exercising of these rights is conditional upon certain obligations
 +for users so as to preserve this status 
 +for all subsequent
 +redistributions.</p>
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +<p>In consideration of access to
 +the source code and the rights to copy,
 +modify and redistribute granted by the license, users are provided only
 +with a limited warranty and the
 +software's author, the holder of the economic rights, and the
 +successive licensors only have limited liability.
 +</p>
 +
 +<p>In
 +this respect, 
 +the risks
 +associated with loading, using, modifying and/or developing or
 +reproducing the software by the user 
 +are brought to the user's attention,
 +given its  Free Software 
 +status, 
 +which may make it
 +complicated to use, 
 +with the result that its use is 
 +reserved for 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 systems and/or data to be ensured and, more generally, to use and
 +operate it in the same conditions of security. This Agreement may be freely
 +reproduced and published, provided it is not altered, and that no 
 +provisions are either added or removed
 +herefrom.</p> 
 +
 +
 +<p>This
 +Agreement may apply to any or all software for which the holder of
 +the economic rights decides to submit the use
 +thereof to its provisions.</p>
