All Rights Reserved

“All Rights Reserved” is the default state under modern copyright law for any original work — software, writing, images. No one other than the copyright holder may copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without explicit permission.

Paradoxically, publishing code on GitHub without a licence makes it “all rights reserved” by default. Viewers can read it, but cannot legally use it. If your goal is for others to use your work, pick an open-source or Creative Commons licence instead.

Generic End-User License Agreement

An End-User License Agreement (EULA) is a binding contract between a software vendor and an end user. Commercial software almost always ships with one. A generic template typically covers: licence grant (usually a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use), restrictions (no reverse engineering, no redistribution, no removing copyright notices), ownership, warranty disclaimer, limitation of liability, termination, and governing law.

The template published on this site is a starting point only. Jurisdictions differ on what is enforceable. Have a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction review the EULA before you ship.
