GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
WHAT IS AN END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT?
An End User License Agreement is a contract between two parties — the licensor and the licensee — for the right to use proprietary software. The licensor or vendor is often an individual or software company who created the software. The licensee is the user who pays a fee to use, download or install a copy of the software.
An End User License Agreement is often known by its abbreviated form EULA. An EULA protects the licensor or copyright owner of the software by prohibiting the licensee from re-selling the software for their own personal gain at your expense. A license essentially gives the user “permission” or a limited right to use the software.
WHEN IS IT NEEDED?
An End User License Agreement is commonly used when an individual or company gives creates proprietary software and would like to make money by allowing others to use the program in limited ways. If the licensor is worried about their copyright, an EULA prevents others from copying the source code, selling the software as their own, or transferring the software to a non-paying user.
Without an End User License Agreement, a software publisher is in many ways agreeing to a free and open-source software license. In these “copyleft” situations, all future versions of the software must continue to be distributed for free. Instead, if the individual or company who created the software wants to earn money, an EULA protects their source code and specially written program, mobile app, or website from being copied or used without permission.
