"CISPE and CIGREF launched the #FairSoftware principles to ensure data #portability for cloud customers.

"The 10 #FairPrinciples were launched with the interests of customers at heart.
#FairSoftware Principle 1, for example, states that the licensing terms should be clearly written and intelligible. "
"Some gatekeepers in the cloud industry use unfair practices such as self-preferencing to the disadvantage of consumers.
We therefore created the 10 #FairSoftware principles for a fair and globally competitive data economy.

"#FairSoftware Principle 9: Licences Should Cover Reasonably Expected Software Uses.
Customers should not be required to purchase additional licences for reasonably expected software use. Software vendors should not mislead their customers into this.

"#FairSoftware Principle 7: Equal Treatment for Software Licensing Fees in the Cloud.
Prices should not differ for the same software based solely on who owns the hardware on which it is installed.

"#FairSoftware Principle 3: Customers Should Be Free to Run their On-Premises Software on the Cloud of their Choice.
“On-premises” software = customers' own hardware that some licences add extra, unfair restrictions on to.
