Free Software/Open Source Software Licenses are bipartite agreements
concluded between the manufacturer of the Software and any person
acting either in its professional activity or outside it. The terms and
conditions of the relevant contract are almost always pre – formulated
and, if validly incorporated, bind the Licensee in terms of a large
number of contractual issues. Although the relevant contracts mainly
regulate the use and exploitation of the Licensor’s Intellectual
Property Rights, other issues related to the users’ rights - such as
warranties or contractual liability - are also determined in a great
detail. The legal importance of the terms and conditions regulating the
latter issues is even greater, whenever the Licensees may be qualified
as consumers, within the meaning of the applicable law.
In
that context, the proposed presentation attempts to extract the key
provisions of the European Communities’ Consumer Protection Legislation
applicable to OSS Licenses, with a view to demonstrate both the
existing legal framework and the future trends. Thus, a discussion will
follow as to the following topics:
- The extent to which the general principles of European Contract Law may apply to OSS Licenses
-
The applicability of EC Consumer protection Directives to OSS
contractual arrangements (Directives 93/13/EEC, 97/7/EC, 2000/31/EC and
Directive 85/374/EEC)
- The rights conferred upon the consumers under the aforementioned existing legal framework
-
The future trends, as recorded during the recent public hearing for
the Review of the Consumer Acquis carried out by the European
Commission
- Certain aspects of Jurisdiction
