The Academic Software License agreement is designed for use in Canadian jurisdictions where software developers, educational institutions, or research organizations need to establish clear terms for the academic use of proprietary software. This document is particularly relevant when software is being licensed specifically for teaching, research, or academic purposes, whether to institutions or individual researchers. It addresses crucial aspects such as intellectual property rights, academic usage restrictions, publication rights, and attribution requirements while ensuring compliance with Canadian federal and provincial regulations. The agreement is structured to protect the interests of both the software provider and academic users, incorporating specific provisions for educational use while maintaining appropriate controls over the software's distribution and application.
