The following files in this repository incorporate substantial code

Under Article 5 of the EUPL-1.2 (compatibility clause) and its
Appendix, the Mozilla Public Licence v. 2.0 is explicitly listed as a
compatible licence. This project therefore distributes the combined
work (original OTEX code together with modified pyOTEC-derived code)
under the MPL-2.0, which is permitted by the EUPL-1.2 as the outbound
licence of the derivative.

Article 5 of the EUPL-1.2 (Attribution right).
