What is source code escrow?

Source code escrow is a service that enables a software publisher to deposit its source code with a trusted third party (Fidealis).

Release conditions

The source code can only be released on presentation of the following documents:

  • Court decision declaring publisher in default

  • Formal notice unanswered for 30 days

  • Reasoned request with proof of absence of maintenance
