A discussion on this point (with some improvements) is now open in the European Commission Interoperable Europe Portal: https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/eupl/di…

The (2017) EUPL-1.2 compatibility clause is as follow: "If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative Works or copies thereof based upon both the Work and another work lic…
