Listers,
Does anyone know anything about legal disclaimers and conditions of use of
software? Most of the things we see are written in American legalese and make
no sense to anyone, I suspect not even the lawyers who draft them.
Is there any *plain English* guidance for British software developers who
want to make explicit the conditions of use and limit liability?
Just write what you are thinking the license should be, in plain English :-)
I think the main points you should cover are
- you claim ownership and copyright over the source code and/or software
- you grant a limited license to the user for particular uses and purposes
- the user indemnifies you from damages and legal complaints
- the user accepts the license by acknowledging the license text and using the software
