Dual Software License Template for Denmark

The Dual Software License agreement is designed for software developers and companies operating under Danish jurisdiction who wish to implement a flexible licensing strategy for their software products. This agreement type is particularly useful when the licensor wants to maintain a commercial licensing model while simultaneously fostering open-source community engagement. The document includes comprehensive terms for both commercial and open-source usage, covering essential elements such as intellectual property rights, usage permissions, technical support levels, and compliance with Danish legal requirements and EU regulations. The Dual Software License is commonly used when a software provider wants to benefit from both commercial revenue streams and open-source community contributions, while ensuring clear legal boundaries and protections for all parties involved.
