That might have been the intent, but I preferred to summarise it as an "EU-funded waste of brainpower" which "appears to have a shed-load of problems, but the EUPL is trivially upgradable to a number of good free software licences (section 5 and appendix)" in http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2009/03/msg00162.html Among the problems, it seems to be very ambiguous about what is Source and what is Executable, is itself under a restrictive copyright, requires Contributors to identify themselves in multiple ways including geographic and electronic addresses, speaks about websites (so will be silly if websites become obsolete), suggests an "I agree" button and has a choice of venue that discriminates in favour of EU citizens. Can voters please pressure governments to stop licence proliferation?
