Should I join the two versions (English and French) of the CeCILL licence text with my software ?
If you use version 1 of CeCILL it is absolutely necessary to always join the French version, as it is the reference one, the only one that has a legal value. If you are using version 2 of CeCILL, both the French and the English ones are equally valid (in legal terms both are deemed authentic). It is thus possible to use indifferently one or the other. If you speak French or intend to distribute your software to a French speaking country, we advise to include the French version, together with the English one.
