Free License Agreement

"I need a Free License Agreement for an open-source software tool I'm releasing in March 2025, which will allow users to modify and redistribute the code but must include attribution and a disclaimer that it's provided as-is."

Document background
This Free License Agreement template is designed for use in Australia when organizations or individuals wish to provide their intellectual property for free use while maintaining certain controls and protections. The document is particularly relevant in open source software distribution, creative commons licensing, and other scenarios where intellectual property is shared without monetary compensation. It includes provisions that comply with Australian copyright law, consumer protection regulations, and privacy requirements, while clearly outlining usage rights, restrictions, and liability limitations. This agreement can be customized based on the specific type of intellectual property being licensed and the desired level of control the licensor wishes to maintain.
