Non Commercial License Software

"I need a Non Commercial License Software agreement for my machine learning algorithm that will be used by universities and research institutions in Canada, with specific provisions for academic publications and sharing of research results."

Document background
This Non-Commercial License Software agreement is designed for use in Canada when software owners wish to permit the use of their software strictly for non-commercial purposes. It is particularly suitable for situations involving academic research, educational use, personal projects, or non-profit activities. The document incorporates essential elements required under Canadian federal and provincial laws, including provisions from the Copyright Act, PIPEDA (where applicable), and provincial electronic commerce legislation. It provides comprehensive coverage of license scope, usage restrictions, intellectual property protection, and liability limitations while ensuring compliance with Canadian legal requirements. This agreement is crucial for software developers and organizations who want to make their software available for non-commercial use while maintaining control over their intellectual property and establishing clear boundaries between permitted non-commercial use and prohibited commercial exploitation.
