FP EULA vs Sony EULA + Human-readable license agreement summary

I tried to write a CC-like Human-readable license agreement summary. This is not (people are paranoid here) the official FP EULA. This is my try on what I think FP wants to say to the users after reading other EULAs. I don’t think it’s a useful one and it’s not my idea.


[UNOFFICAL] FP Human-readable license agreement summary NOT VALID

You cannot:

  • Share the “bin blob” software with any third party. You can only use it with your own Fairphone.

You can:

  • Use the Software for building your own software/rom and for testing/modifying software under Open Source License Terms or other licences.
