This Restrictive Open Source License is designed for organizations seeking to release their software under open source terms while maintaining specific controls over its use and distribution. The document is particularly suitable for companies operating under Dutch jurisdiction who want to share their code while protecting certain commercial interests or ensuring specific usage parameters. It includes comprehensive provisions for source code sharing, modification rights, and distribution terms, while incorporating restrictions that may limit commercial use, specific industry applications, or geographic deployment. The license ensures compliance with Dutch legal requirements and EU regulations while maintaining the fundamental principles of open source software distribution. This template should be used when standard permissive open source licenses don't provide sufficient protection for the licensor's interests, but a fully proprietary license would be too restrictive.
