PolyForm

The PolyForm Project offers a set of standardized, plain-language software licenses developed by licensing lawyers and technologists. These licenses fill gaps in existing options by providing clear terms for non-commercial, trial, and small-business-only use. They are designed to be easy to read and understand, reducing ambiguity for both licensors and licensees.

• Standardized Formats: Each license follows a consistent structure, making it simple to choose the right one for your project.
• Plain Language: Avoids complex legal jargon, so developers and non-lawyers can grasp usage rights and obligations quickly.
• Targeted Terms: Includes licenses for specific scenarios like evaluation, limited commercial use, and non-profit projects, which are often missing from other standard licenses.
• Community-Driven: Developed and reviewed by experienced licensing professionals to ensure legal accuracy and practical applicability.
• Free to Use: All licenses are available at no cost, with no registration or attribution required.
