Open Source Native License (OSNL)
Version 0.1 - March 1, 2024
Preamble
The Open Source Native License (OSNL) is designed to ensure that software remains free and open, fostering innovation and knowledge sharing within the community. It grants individuals, researchers, and commercial entities who open source their primary business assets, the freedom to use the software in any manner they choose.
This distinctive approach aims to balance the benefits of open-source development with the realities of commercial enterprise. It ensures that software remains a shared, community-driven resource while enabling businesses to thrive in an open-source ecosystem. Additional licenses are available for non-open source commercial entities.
1. Definitions
- "This License" refers to Version 1.0 of the Open Source Native License.
- "The Program" refers to the software distributed under this License.
- "You" refers to the individual or entity utilizing or contributing to the Program.
- "Primary Business Assets" are the core resources, capabilities, and technology that constitute the main value proposition and operational basis of your business.
2. Grant of License
Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are hereby granted a free, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and sublicense the Program, provided you comply with the following condition:
- Individual or researcher: You are granted the rights to use, modify, distribute, and contribute to the Program for any purpose, including educational, research, and personal projects, without the necessity to make your personal projects open source, provided these activities do not constitute a commercial enterprise. For any use that transitions to commercial purposes, the conditions applicable to commercial entities as outlined in this License will then apply.
- Commercial Entity who meets open source condition: Your primary business assets, including all core technologies, software, and platforms, must be available under an OSI-approved open source license or OSNL. This condition does not apply to ancillary or peripheral services not constituting primary business assets.
2.1 Commercial Use by Non-Open Source Businesses
Non-open source businesses that wish to utilize the Program or its derivatives as a component of their products or services are required to obtain an additional license. These entities must proactively contact Banodoco to request such a license. Banodoco reserves the right, at its own discretion, to grant or deny this additional license. Until an additional license is granted by Banodoco, non-open source businesses are not authorized to exercise any rights provided under this License regarding the use of the Program or its derivatives.
3. Redistribution
You may reproduce and distribute copies of the Program or derivative works thereof in any medium, with or without modifications, provided that you meet the following conditions:
- You must give any recipients of the Program a copy of this License.
- You must ensure that any modified files carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files.
- You must disclose the source of the Program, and if you distribute any portion of it in a compiled or object code form, you must also provide the full source code under this License.
- Any distribution of the Program or derivative works must comply with the Primary Business Open Source Condition.
4. Disclaimer of Warranty
THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE PROGRAM.
5. General
This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor, except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Program.
