(Musterverträge für Open-Source-Software)
A repository of sample contracts that companies can use in business transactions for the use and development of open source software.
Presented at DINAcon 2024
This is a prototype of a repository of openly licensed contracts and other legal templates, created primarily for use among and by the open source community in Switzerland. This discussion has circulated for some years within CH Open, reignited by recent publications of nearby communities. Our project aims to build on open legal data best practices, and promote open source platforms designed for legal work.
