[SOFTWARE NAME] Copyright (YEAR) (COPYRIGHT HOLDER(S)/AUTHOR(S))(“Licensor”)
|
||
|
||
Hippocratic License Version Number: 2.1.
|
||
|
||
Purpose. The purpose of this License is for the Licensor named above to permit
|
||
the Licensee (as defined below) broad permission, if consistent with Human
|
||
Rights Laws and Human Rights Principles (as each is defined below), to use
|
||
and work with the Software (as defined below) within the full scope of Licensor’s
|
||
copyright and patent rights, if any, in the Software, while ensuring attribution
|
||
and protecting the Licensor from liability.
|
||
|
||
Permission and Conditions. The Licensor grants permission by this license
|
||
(“License”), free of charge, to the extent of Licensor’s rights under applicable
|
||
copyright and patent law, to any person or entity (the “Licensee”) obtaining
|
||
a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the “Software”),
|
||
to do everything with the Software that would otherwise infringe (i) the Licensor’s
|
||
copyright in the Software or (ii) any patent claims to the Software that the
|
||
Licensor can license or becomes able to license, subject to all of the following
|
||
terms and conditions:
|
||
|
||
* Acceptance. This License is automatically offered to every person and entity
|
||
subject to its terms and conditions. Licensee accepts this License and agrees
|
||
to its terms and conditions by taking any action with the Software that, absent
|
||
this License, would infringe any intellectual property right held by Licensor.
|
||
|
||
* Notice. Licensee must ensure that everyone who gets a copy of any part of
|
||
this Software from Licensee, with or without changes, also receives the License
|
||
and the above copyright notice (and if included by the Licensor, patent, trademark
|
||
and attribution notice). Licensee must cause any modified versions of the
|
||
Software to carry prominent notices stating that Licensee changed the Software.
|
||
For clarity, although Licensee is free to create modifications of the Software
|
||
and distribute only the modified portion created by Licensee with additional
|
||
or different terms, the portion of the Software not modified must be distributed
|
||
pursuant to this License. If anyone notifies Licensee in writing that Licensee
|
||
has not complied with this Notice section, Licensee can keep this License
|
||
by taking all practical steps to comply within 30 days after the notice. If
|
||
Licensee does not do so, Licensee’s License (and all rights licensed hereunder)
|
||
shall end immediately.
|
||
|
||
* Compliance with Human Rights Principles and Human Rights Laws.
|
||
|
||
1. Human Rights Principles.
|
||
|
||
(a) Licensee is advised to consult the articles of the United Nations Universal
|
||
Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Global Compact that define
|
||
recognized principles of international human rights (the “Human Rights Principles”).
|
||
Licensee shall use the Software in a manner consistent with Human Rights Principles.
|
||
|
||
(b) Unless the Licensor and Licensee agree otherwise, any dispute, controversy,
|
||
or claim arising out of or relating to (i) Section 1(a) regarding Human Rights
|
||
Principles, including the breach of Section 1(a), termination of this License
|
||
for breach of the Human Rights Principles, or invalidity of Section 1(a) or
|
||
(ii) a determination of whether any Law is consistent or in conflict with
|
||
Human Rights Principles pursuant to Section 2, below, shall be settled by
|
||
arbitration in accordance with the Hague Rules on Business and Human Rights
|
||
Arbitration (the “Rules”); provided, however, that Licensee may elect not
|
||
to participate in such arbitration, in which event this License (and all rights
|
||
licensed hereunder) shall end immediately. The number of arbitrators shall
|
||
be one unless the Rules require otherwise.
|
||
|
||
Unless both the Licensor and Licensee agree to the contrary: (1) All documents
|
||
and information concerning the arbitration shall be public and may be disclosed
|
||
by any party; (2) The repository referred to under Article 43 of the Rules
|
||
shall make available to the public in a timely manner all documents concerning
|
||
the arbitration which are communicated to it, including all submissions of
|
||
the parties, all evidence admitted into the record of the proceedings, all
|
||
transcripts or other recordings of hearings and all orders, decisions and
|
||
awards of the arbitral tribunal, subject only to the arbitral tribunal's powers
|
||
to take such measures as may be necessary to safeguard the integrity of the
|
||
arbitral process pursuant to Articles 18, 33, 41 and 42 of the Rules; and
|
||
(3) Article 26(6) of the Rules shall not apply.
|
||
|
||
2. Human Rights Laws. The Software shall not be used by any person or entity
|
||
for any systems, activities, or other uses that violate any Human Rights Laws.
|
||
“Human Rights Laws” means any applicable laws, regulations, or rules (collectively,
|
||
“Laws”) that protect human, civil, labor, privacy, political, environmental,
|
||
security, economic, due process, or similar rights; provided, however, that
|
||
such Laws are consistent and not in conflict with Human Rights Principles
|
||
(a dispute over the consistency or a conflict between Laws and Human Rights
|
||
Principles shall be determined by arbitration as stated above). Where the
|
||
Human Rights Laws of more than one jurisdiction are applicable or in conflict
|
||
with respect to the use of the Software, the Human Rights Laws that are most
|
||
protective of the individuals or groups harmed shall apply.
|
||
|
||
3. Indemnity. Licensee shall hold harmless and indemnify Licensor (and any
|
||
other contributor) against all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies,
|
||
claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines,
|
||
costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including Licensor’s reasonable attorneys’
|
||
fees, arising out of or relating to Licensee’s use of the Software in violation
|
||
of Human Rights Laws or Human Rights Principles.
|
||
|
||
* Failure to Comply. Any failure of Licensee to act according to the terms
|
||
and conditions of this License is both a breach of the License and an infringement
|
||
of the intellectual property rights of the Licensor (subject to exceptions
|
||
under Laws, e.g., fair use). In the event of a breach or infringement, the
|
||
terms and conditions of this License may be enforced by Licensor under the
|
||
Laws of any jurisdiction to which Licensee is subject. Licensee also agrees
|
||
that the Licensor may enforce the terms and conditions of this License against
|
||
Licensee through specific performance (or similar remedy under Laws) to the
|
||
extent permitted by Laws. For clarity, except in the event of a breach of
|
||
this License, infringement, or as otherwise stated in this License, Licensor
|
||
may not terminate this License with Licensee.
|
||
|
||
* Enforceability and Interpretation. If any term or provision of this License
|
||
is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent
|
||
jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall
|
||
not affect any other term or provision of this License or invalidate or render
|
||
unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction; provided,
|
||
however, subject to a court modification pursuant to the immediately following
|
||
sentence, if any term or provision of this License pertaining to Human Rights
|
||
Laws or Human Rights Principles is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
|
||
against Licensee by a court of competent jurisdiction, all rights in the Software
|
||
granted to Licensee shall be deemed null and void as between Licensor and
|
||
Licensee. Upon a determination that any term or provision is invalid, illegal,
|
||
or unenforceable, to the extent permitted by Laws, the court may modify this
|
||
License to affect the original purpose that the Software be used in compliance
|
||
with Human Rights Principles and Human Rights Laws as closely as possible.
|
||
The language in this License shall be interpreted as to its fair meaning and
|
||
not strictly for or against any party.
|
||
|
||
* Disclaimer. TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS SOFTWARE COMES “AS IS,”
|
||
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND LICENSOR AND ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR
|
||
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING FROM,
|
||
OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THIS LICENSE, UNDER ANY KIND
|
||
OF LEGAL CLAIM.
|
||
|
||
This Hippocratic License is an Ethical Source license (https://ethicalsource.dev)
|
||
and is offered for use by licensors and licensees at their own risk, on an
|
||
“AS IS” basis, and with no warranties express or implied, to the maximum extent
|

permitted by Laws.
