Release of Source Code. Each Party agrees, with respect to Applicable Stablecoins for which it is the Issuer Party, to, prior to use in production following the Effective Date, publicly release the Covered Source Code under the Apache 2.0 license, the MIT license, or another open source Permissive License reasonably chosen by the Issuer Party; provided that if a portion of the Covered Source Code is licensed to the Issuer Party under a license that is not a Permissive License, the Issuer Party may, to the extent permitted under such license, publicly release the Covered Source Code under the same license under which it receives such portion. A “Permissive License” is an open source license that does not require that the licensed software or other software incorporated into, derived from, linked to or distributed with such licensed code (i) be disclosed or distributed in source code form, (ii) be licensed for the purpose of making derivative works or (iii) be redistributable at no charge. Circle represents and warrants that it has released the Covered Source Code in existence as of the Effective Date for USDC on the GitHub repositories listed on Schedule A.
