If you’re using this in a CLI tool you’re writing in Python you might be using the library rich anyway, which provides this functionality as well including some extra features.

You have to go to a list of languages, and then once you find English on the list it gives you a PDF or text, no HTML version.
I read it, and I think the exception allowing for compatibility with the MPL would allow me to pretty much do what I want with a larger work, as long as I release changes to the code files, and shipped it with some MPL code. It says that where the license conflicts, the compatible license prevails. I'm also not convinced that the Distribution section behaves like the AGPL: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/12298
As the European Commission claims on their site, as one of the reasons they chose to create a new license instead of relying on those already available:
> The licence should have equal legal value in many languages.
In addition, the EUPL is not any license text some (from a legal perspective random) people came up with, but the text of the license was written and voted into law by the EU itself, therefore it can and does rightfully claim the following, which is invaluable to me as a FLOSS author residing in the EU.
> any litigation resulting from the interpretation of this License [...] will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union [...]
So even if the local courts interpretation in my home country falls short, the Court of Justice of the European Union will surely take into account the intended purpose of this license as laid out by the legislators of the EU.
I think it'd only work as a near seamless ui experience and not actually using torrents or any extra setup or complications. Probably branded a bit differently.
Unfortunately I noticed too late that the main domain does not automatically redirect to English based on the browser preferences. If someone can replace the link to add the /en/ at the end I would be super grateful.
