[Paulina Walenczak]

Hello, 

I represent the YetiForce Sp. Z o.o. [Ltd.] company, the sole producer
of the YetiForce CRM software, and I am submitting the YetiForce Public
License 3.0 for review and approval as an Open Source License. 

Below you can find the original text of the license and all the other
required information. 

YETIFORCE PUBLIC LICENSE V3 

Open license based on MIT license 

Copyright (c) 2017 YetiForce Sp. z o.o. (Ltd.) 

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a
copy of this software and associated documentation files (the
"Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including
without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish,
distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to
permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to
the following conditions: 

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included
in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. 

The inclusion of abovementioned notices may be in a form of an active
link to the license, as stated in Appendix A. 

The Software used for more than 14 days must be registered via the
built-in form. 

If such registration is not possible, further use of the Software
requires registration via email (registration at yetiforce.com), as stated
in Appendix B. 

The registration form is properly submitted if sent (data entry to
electronic communication system) and if it contains complete and true
data. 

Registration is mandatory for any company (registration does not apply
to employees of these companies or private individuals) that uses,
configures and/or modifies the Software, regardless of whether the
entity does it for itself or for other subjects.

Data used for registration must be true. All sent registration
information, including the company's name, may be used by YetiForce Sp.
z o.o. (Ltd.) for marketing purposes (i.e. preparation of statistics,
publication on the website). 

YetiForce Sp. z o.o. (Ltd.) does not sell or transfer that data to other
entities and guarantees its confidentiality. 

By using the Software, it is forbidden to remove or alter the content of
the system footer, including referrals to the website and social media
of YetiForce Sp. z o.o. (Ltd.). 

The footer can be customized in color as long as the system template
changes, provided the readability is maintained. 

The footer of the system may be removed with the prior written consent
of YetiForce Sp. z o.o. (Ltd.). 

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE
SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE. 

Appendix A

Minimal description of the license and copyrights required for PHP
files; it can be expanded by phpDocumentator elements unless they modify
the license and/or existing copyrights to files:

/** 

* @copyright YetiForce Sp. z o.o. 

* @license YetiForce Public License 3.0 (licenses/LicenseEN.txt or
yetiforce.com) 

*/ 

Minimal description of the license and copyrights required for TPL
files; it can be expanded by additional elements unless these changes
modify the license and/or existing copyrights to files: 

{*< !-- {[The file is published on the basis of YetiForce Public License
3.0 that can be found in the following directory: licenses/LicenseEN.txt
or yetiforce.com]} -- >*}

Minimal description of the license and copyrights required for JS files;
it can be expanded by additional elements unless these changes modify
the license and/or existing copyrights to files:

/* {[The file is published on the basis of YetiForce Public License 3.0
that can be found in the following directory: licenses/LicenseEN.txt or
yetiforce.com]} */ 

Appendix B 

All data below must be true, it is an obligatory condition of
registering the product that results from the license terms. 

1. Registration information (data below is used for statistical purposes
and may be published on the producer's website):

Full company name 

Country 

City 

Company size 

2. Product key - enter the unique product key that can be seen on the
administrator's panel main page: 

RATIONALE: We created our own license due to two main reasons. First of
all, the obligation to register our software allows us to find out more
about companies who use our system on a daily basis, which allows us to
to better select and schedule all the changes in the system. Secondly,
the obligation to keep the footer in its original form helps us protect
our work from being distributed by third parties in a way that violates
the license. 

DISTINGUISH: The YetiForce Public License 3.0 was created based on the
MIT license. There are only 2 additional conditions: 

1. The first one requires registration of the product, via a built-in
form or email, if used for more than 14 days. 

2. The second additional condition prohibits removing or altering the
footer without explicit written consent from the producer (YetiForce Sp.
z o.o. [Ltd.]) 

LEGAL REVIEW: There is no legal review since the license only adds 2
conditions to the MIT license. 

PROLIFERATION CATEGORY: Non-reusable licenses
