+<p>This is a free software license. By itself, it has a copyleft
+comparable to the GPL's, and incompatible with it. However, it gives
+recipients ways to relicense the work under the terms of other selected
+licenses, and some of those&mdash;the Eclipse Public License in
+particular&mdash;only provide a weaker copyleft. Thus, developers can't
+rely on this license to provide a strong copyleft.</p>
+
+<p>The EUPL allows relicensing to GPLv2 only and GPLv3 only, because
+those licenses are listed as two of the alternative licenses that users
+may convert to. It also, indirectly, allows relicensing to GPL
+version&nbsp;3 or any later version, because there is a way to relicense
+to the CeCILL v2, and the CeCILL v2 gives a way to relicense to any
+version of the GNU GPL.</p>
+
+<p>To do this two-step relicensing, you need to first write a piece of code
+which you can license under the CeCILL v2, or find a suitable module
+already available that way, and add it to the program. Adding that code
+to the EUPL-covered program provides grounds to relicense it to the
+CeCILL v2. Then you need to write a piece of code which you can license
+under the GPLv3+, or find a suitable module already available that way,
+and add it to the program. Adding that code to the CeCILL-covered
+program provides grounds to relicense it to GPLv3+.</p></dd>
