Document background
This Open Source Copyright License is designed for use when releasing software or other copyrighted works under an open source model within the Irish legal framework. It provides a comprehensive legal structure that balances the interests of copyright holders with the collaborative principles of open source development. The license is particularly relevant in scenarios where organizations or individuals wish to make their intellectual property freely available while maintaining certain controls and protections. It incorporates provisions from the Irish Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000 and relevant EU regulations, making it suitable for both domestic and international use. The document includes essential elements such as license grants, usage conditions, warranty disclaimers, and liability limitations, while ensuring compatibility with Irish legal requirements and open source community standards.
