I wrote the Open Recipe License as a tongue-in-cheek document to show the open nature of recipes; we share, modify and freely distribute recipes all the time, liberated from any copyright.
You may read the license in it's entirety below, or simply download a plaintext copy.
Plaintext CopyOpen Recipe License Open Recipe License, version 1.2 Copyright © [year] [copyright owner] Recipe: [name software and version if applicable] License Grant. Licensor hereby grants to each recipient of the Recipe (âyouâ) a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free and fully-paid-up license, under all of the Licensorâs copyright and patent rights, to use, copy, distribute, prepare derivative works of, publicly perform and display the Recipe, subject to the Use Limitation and the conditions set forth below. Use Limitation. The license granted above allows use by up to the number of users per entity set forth above (the âUse Limitationâ). For determining the number of users, âyouâ includes all affiliates, meaning legal entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with you. If you exceed the Use Limitation, your use is subject to payment of Licensorâs then-current list price for licenses. Conditions. Redistribution in source code or other forms must include a copy of this license document to be provided in a reasonable manner. Any redistribution of the Recipe is only allowed subject to this license. Trademarks. This license does not grant you any right in the trademarks, service marks, brand names or logos of Licensor. DISCLAIMER. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED âAS ISâ, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. LICENSORS HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE. Termination. If you violate the terms of this license, your rights will terminate automatically and will not be reinstated without the prior written consent of Licensor. Any such termination will not affect the right of others who may have received copies of the Recipe from you.
To apply the Open Recipe License, attach the following boilerplate notice to your work(s). Replace the year and name with relevant data, of course.
