EUPL released under 22 languages of EU

EUPL, European Union Public Licence is a Open Source like licence, developed by the European Commission for usage in the public sector of member states.

Why Open Source like? Well, by the meaning it is open source but it wasn't approved by Open Source Initiative in US, actually no one even submitted it.

You can reach the licence in 22 languages here.

I know I am late... but finding your blog, I can just complement that the EUPL was approved by OSI in March 2009.
Martin Michlmayr, OSI’s board member and FOSSBazaar Community Manager, said: one new license is bound to be of true value in the near future: the EUPL [European Union Public License]. For the first time we’d have a license available in all European languages and valid everywhere, that is, all translations have been legally scrutinized.
