Document background

This Open Source Software License is designed for use when releasing software under Danish law while maintaining compatibility with international open source principles. It is particularly suitable for Danish companies, organizations, or individuals seeking to release their software under an open source model while ensuring compliance with local legal requirements. The license incorporates essential elements of Danish copyright law, contract law, and relevant EU directives, including provisions for GDPR compliance where applicable. It provides a framework for both commercial and non-commercial use, addressing modern software distribution methods while maintaining the fundamental freedoms associated with open source software. This document should be used when releasing software that needs to comply specifically with Danish legal requirements while remaining accessible to an international user base.
