Document background
This document template provides a comprehensive End User License Agreement (EULA) for Open Source software specifically adapted to German legal requirements. It should be used when distributing open source software in Germany or to German users, ensuring compliance with both open source principles and German legal standards. The EULA covers essential aspects including license grants, usage rights, modification and distribution terms, warranty disclaimers, and liability limitations as permitted under German law. It addresses specific German legal requirements regarding contract formation, consumer protection, and data privacy (GDPR), while maintaining the fundamental freedoms associated with open source software. The document is particularly important for software providers who need to ensure their open source distribution complies with German legal requirements while preserving the intended open source nature of their software.
