A site license is a software licensing agreement that grants an organization or institution the right to use a particular software product on an unlimited number of or for an unrestricted number of users within a single physical location or site.

This type of license restricts users from accessing the code of the software and often limits how the software can be used.

Open source licenses encourage collaboration and innovation by allowing users to view, modify, and distribute the code.

Users typically receive the program, and they must abide by the terms and conditions set by the software's owner.
