The ICAPL is a public license for the INTO-CPS tool
suite with three modes/alternatives
(GPL, ICA-Internal-EPL, ICA-External-EPL) for use and redistribution,
in source and/or binary/object-code form:
* GPL. Any party (member or non-member of the INTO-CPS Association) may use and
redistribute INTO-CPS tool suite under GPL version 3.
* Silver Level members of the INTO-CPS Association may also use and redistribute
the INTO-CPS tool suite under ICA-Internal-EPL conditions.
* Gold Level members of the INTO-CPS Association may also use and redistribute
The INTO-CPS tool suite under ICA-Internal-EPL or ICA-External-EPL conditions.
Definitions of the INTO-CPS Association Public license modes:
* GPL = GPL version 3.
* ICA-Internal-EPL = These INTO-CPA Association Public
license conditions together with
Internally restricted EPL, i.e., EPL version 1.0 with the Additional Condition
that use and redistribution by a member of the INTO-CPS Association is only allowed
within the INTO-CPS Association member's own
organization (i.e., its own legal entity),
or for a member of the INTO-CPS Association
paying a membership fee corresponding to
the size of the organization including all its affiliates, use and redistribution
is allowed within/between its affiliates.
* ICA-External-EPL = These INTO-CPA Association Public
license conditions together with
Externally restricted EPL, i.e., EPL version 1.0 with the Additional Condition
that use and redistribution by a member of the INTO-CPS Association, or by a Licensed
Third Party Distributor having a redistribution agreement with that member,
to parties external to the INTO-CPS Association
member’s own organization (i.e., its own
legal entity) is only allowed in binary/object-code form, except the case of
redistribution to other members the INTO-CPS Association to which source is also
allowed to be distributed.
[This has the consequence that an external party who wishes to use
the INTO-CPS Association in source form together with
its own proprietary software in all
cases must be a member of the INTO-CPS Association].
In all cases of usage and redistribution by recipients, the following
conditions also apply:
a) Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice,
all definitions, and conditions. It is sufficient if the ICAPL Header is
present in each source file, if the full ICAPL is available in a prominent
and easily located place in the redistribution.
b) Redistributions in binary/object-code form must reproduce the above
copyright notice, all definitions, and conditions. It is sufficient if the
ICAPL Header and the location in the redistribution of the full ICAPL
are present in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the
redistribution, if the full ICAPL is available in a prominent and easily
located place in the redistribution.
c) A recipient must clearly indicate its chosen usage mode of ICAPL,
in accompanying documentation and in a text file ICA-USAGE-MODE.txt,
provided with the distribution.
d) Contributor(s) making a Contribution to the
INTO-CPS Association thereby also makes a
Transfer of Contribution Copyright. In return, upon the effective date of
the transfer, ICA grants the Contributor(s) a Contribution License of the
Contribution. ICA has the right to accept or refuse Contributions.

to the INTO-CPS tool suite originate from and are

tool suite by such Contributor itself or
anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf.
For Contributors licensing the INTO-CPS tool suite under ICA-Internal-EPL or
ICA-External-EPL conditions, the following conditions also hold:
Contributions do not include additions to the distributed Program which: (i)
are separate modules of software distributed
in conjunction with the INTO-CPS tool suite
under their own license agreement, (ii) are separate modules which are not
derivative works of the INTO-CPS tool suite, and (iii) are separate modules of software
distributed in conjunction with the INTO-CPS tool suite under their own license agreement
where these separate modules are merged with (weaved together with) modules of
The INTO-CPS tool suite to form new modules

code under their own license agreement, as allowed under the Additional
Condition of internal distribution according to ICA-Internal-EPL and/or
Additional Condition for external distribution according to ICA-External-EPL.
"Transfer of Contribution Copyright" means that the Contributors of a
Contribution transfer the ownership and the copyright of the Contribution to
the INTO-CPS Association, the INTO-CPS Association Copyright owner, for
inclusion in the INTO-CPS tool suite.
The transfer takes place upon the effective date
when the Contribution is made available on the
INTO-CPS Association web site under ICAPL, by

The transfer is free of charge. If the
Contributors or the INTO-CPS Association so wish,
an optional Copyright transfer agreement can be signed
between the INTO-CPS Association and the Contributors.
"Contribution License" means a license from the INTO-CPS
Association to the Contributors of the Contribution, effective
on the date of the Transfer of Contribution Copyright,
where the INTO-CPS Association grants the Contributors a

perpetual license, including sublicensing rights, to use,
have used, modify, have modified, reproduce and or have reproduced the

between the Gold Level member and the Licensed Third Party Distributor.

or more intermediaries, controlling or controlled by or under common control

ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE INTO-CPS TOOL
SUITE OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED

A Contributor licensing the INTO-CPS tool suite under ICA-Internal-EPL or
ICA-External-EPL may choose to distribute (parts of) the INTO-CPS tool suite
in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:
a) it complies with the terms and conditions of ICAPL; or for the case of
redistribution of the INTO-CPS tool suite
together with proprietary code it is a dual
license where the INTO-CPS tool suite parts are distributed under ICAPL compatible
conditions and the proprietary code is distributed under proprietary license
conditions; and
b) its license agreement:
i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and
conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title
and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability
and fitness for a particular purpose;
ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for
damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential
damages, such as lost profits;
iii) states that any provisions which differ
from ICAPL are offered by that
Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
iv) states from where the source code
for the INTO-CPS tool suite is available, and
informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a
medium customarily used for software exchange.
When the INTO-CPS tool suite is made available in source code form:
a) it must be made available under ICAPL; and
b) a copy of ICAPL must be included with each copy of the INTO-CPS tool suite.
c) a copy of the subsidiary license associated with the selected mode of
ICAPL must be included with each copy of the INTO-CPS tool suite.
Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within
The INTO-CPS tool suite.
If there is a conflict between ICAPL and the subsidiary license conditions,
ICAPL has priority.

for all disagreements related to this Agreement, is Aarhus, Denmark.
