The Dual Software License agreement is designed for software providers operating under Swiss jurisdiction who wish to offer their software under both proprietary and open-source licensing models. This flexible licensing approach allows organizations to maintain an open-source community while generating revenue through commercial licensing. The document becomes necessary when a software provider wants to offer their product with different terms, rights, and obligations depending on the user's needs and intended use. It includes comprehensive provisions addressing commercial terms, technical specifications, support obligations, and compliance requirements under Swiss law. The agreement ensures alignment with Swiss legal frameworks, including the Code of Obligations, Copyright Act, and Data Protection regulations, while providing clear guidance on license selection, usage rights, and obligations under each licensing option.
