FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE Clause Samples

The "Free and Open Source Software" clause defines the terms under which software that is distributed under open source licenses is used, incorporated, or provided within a project or agreement. It typically outlines the obligations of the parties regarding compliance with open source license terms, such as attribution, distribution of source code, or disclosure of modifications. This clause ensures that all parties are aware of and adhere to the legal requirements associated with open source components, thereby mitigating the risk of license violations and clarifying responsibilities related to open source software usage.

FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. Free and open source software (▇▇▇▇), which has become a hot topic in recent years, has had a revolutionary effect on many aspects of the software industry (this topic is discussed in detail in chapter 11). Most of these effects have been positive, and customers should avoid unreasonably fearful responses. The use of open source has grown to the point that it is often not reasonable to warrant that a product contains no open source materi- als. Instead, the prudent customer should make sure that the open source code is delivered in a compliant fashion and that it is aware of what restrictions may accompany the product it is receiving.8 In the context of software licensing between customers and vendors, there are two important elements to understand. First, the main legal risks for noncomplying parties arise under what are called the “copyleft” licenses, and not all ▇▇▇▇ software is provided subject to a copyleft 7. See chapters 14–18 for a discussion of potentially applicable privacy laws.

If Ordering Activity determines to use the ▇▇▇▇, Ordering Activity’s right to use such ▇▇▇▇ shall be governed by the applicable ▇▇▇▇ license agreement instead of the terms hereof.
FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. 17.1 Our contracting partner is not permitted to incorporate Free and Open Source Software ("▇▇▇▇") into the Goods unless we have expressly consented to and/or requested it to do so. "▇▇▇▇" (Free and Open Source Software) includes any software (including any updates and upgrades) which is subject to an open source licence. 17.2 Our contractual partner undertakes to inform us prior to the execution of the contract of the complete list of ▇▇▇▇ and open source licences which the contractual partner intends to use during the execution of the contract. 17.3 In this context, our contractual partner undertakes to provide us with the following information prior to the delivery of a delivery item: • the comprehensive and detailed list of the ▇▇▇▇ contained in a Deliverable or any other ▇▇▇▇ required for the use of a Deliverable, including in particular: o the name of the relevant ▇▇▇▇ ; o the version or revision numbers; o the indication of source (e.g. the original download URL) ;
FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE where the source code is openly shared and users can freely access, use, modify and redistribute the software or modified versions thereof, can contribute to research and innovation on the market. Such software is subject to licences that allow anyone the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. In order not to hamper innovation or research, this Directive should not apply to free and open-source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity, since products so developed or supplied are by definition not placed on the market. Developing or contributing to such software should not be understood as making it available on the market. Providing such ▌software on open repositories should not be considered as making it available on the market, unless this occurs in the course of a commercial activity. In principle, the supply of free and open-source software by non-profit organisations should not be considered as taking place in a business-related context, unless the supply occurs in the course of a commercial activity ▌. However, where software is supplied in exchange for a price or personal data is used other than exclusively for improving the security, compatibility or interoperability of the software, and is therefore supplied in the course of a commercial activity, the Directive should apply.

(d) Copies of the ▇▇▇▇ Code licenses for ▇▇▇▇ Code components included with Product are included with or referenced on Vantari VR’s website, or in the Documentation.
