D'après http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html :

CeCILL version 2

        The CeCILL is a free software license, explicitly compatible
        with the GNU GPL.


        The text of the CeCILL uses a couple of biased terms that ought
        to be avoided: “intellectual property” and “protection”; this
        decision was unfortunate, because reading the license tends to
        spread the presuppositions of those terms. However, this does
        not cause any particular problem for the programs released under
        the CeCILL.


        Section 9.4 of the CeCILL commits the program's developers to
        certain forms of cooperation with the users, if someone attacks
        the program with a patent. You might look at that as a problem
        for the developer; however, if you are sure you would want to
        cooperate with the users in those ways anyway, then it isn't a
        problem for you.
