EULA Open Source

"I need an Open Source EULA for our enterprise analytics software that we're releasing in March 2025, which includes both proprietary algorithms and open source components, to be governed by Swiss law with specific provisions for commercial usage and data protection compliance."

Document background
This EULA Open Source agreement is designed for software developers and organizations releasing software under open source licenses in Switzerland or choosing Swiss law as the governing law. The document serves as a comprehensive legal framework that balances open source principles with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations and Copyright Act. It is specifically structured to protect both the rights of software creators and users while maintaining the open nature of the software. The agreement includes essential provisions for software distribution, modification rights, warranty disclaimers, and liability limitations, all tailored to comply with Swiss law. This document is particularly relevant when releasing software that will be freely available for use, modification, and redistribution, while still maintaining certain protections and requirements for the original creators.
