Document background
The Non Commercial License Software agreement is designed for situations where software owners wish to permit use of their intellectual property while explicitly prohibiting commercial exploitation. Under English and Welsh law, this document provides a framework for protecting the developer's rights while enabling academic, research, or personal use. It includes essential provisions for intellectual property protection, usage limitations, and liability constraints, making it particularly suitable for academic software distribution, open-source projects with non-commercial restrictions, or software sharing within research communities.
