Open Source Eula

"I need an Open Source EULA under Dutch law for my machine learning software that will be released in March 2025, with specific provisions for user data processing and community contributions."

Document background
This Open Source EULA template is designed for software developers and organizations operating under Dutch jurisdiction who wish to distribute their software under open source principles while maintaining legal compliance with Dutch and EU regulations. The document is particularly relevant when releasing software that needs to balance open source freedoms with legal protections and regulatory requirements. It includes provisions for intellectual property protection, liability limitations, and data protection compliance while preserving the collaborative nature of open source development. The EULA addresses both straightforward software distribution and more complex scenarios involving community contributions, modifications, and redistributions. It's structured to comply with Dutch contract law while incorporating international open source best practices.
