Document background
The Open License Agreement is designed for use in situations where an organization or individual wishes to make their intellectual property, software, or content freely available for use by others while maintaining certain controls and protections. This document, governed by Hong Kong law, is particularly relevant in today's digital economy where open-source and shared content models are increasingly common. It includes essential provisions for intellectual property protection, usage rights, attribution requirements, and liability limitations, while ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's legal framework, including the Copyright Ordinance (Cap. 528) and related regulations. The agreement is structured to provide flexibility while offering legal protection for both licensors and licensees, making it suitable for various types of intellectual property sharing arrangements, from software distribution to creative works licensing.
