Document background
The Source Code License Agreement is a critical legal instrument used when a software owner wishes to grant another party access to and rights to use their software's source code while maintaining ownership rights. This agreement, governed by Danish law, is particularly important in scenarios involving software customization, integration projects, or business continuity requirements. It includes detailed provisions for protecting intellectual property rights, defining permitted modifications, establishing security requirements, and setting support and maintenance terms. The agreement ensures compliance with Danish legal requirements, including the Danish Copyright Act (Ophavsretsloven) and relevant EU regulations, while providing flexibility for international business operations. It's commonly used in technology transfers, strategic partnerships, or when clients require direct access to source code for business-critical applications.
