<p lang="en-US"><span style="color:#333333;font-size:10pt;font-family:tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span><strong>Rationale:</strong> 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. </span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="color:#333333;font-size:10pt;font-family:tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span><strong>Distinguish: </strong>The YetiForce Public License 3.0 was created based on the MIT license. There are only 2 additional conditions:</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="color:#333333;font-size:10pt;font-family:tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span>1. The first one requires registration of the product, via a built-in form or email, if used for more than 14 days.</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="color:#333333;font-size:10pt;font-family:tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span>2. The second additional condition prohibits removing or altering the footer without explicit written consent from the producer (YetiForce Sp. z o.o. [Ltd.])</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en-US"><span style="color:#333333;font-size:10pt;font-family:tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span><strong>Legal review:</strong> There is no legal review since the license only adds 2 conditions to the MIT license. </span></span></span></p>
