The attempt to define the content of free license has been made for the possibility of its application in the Russian legislation. It has been noted that the free license has to contain the terms and conditions about the subject, object and the ways of use of the object of the license. Besides, it is necessary to specify the author and the owner of the intellectual property offered to «free» use. These conditions are essential for the free license. It has been noted that conditions about the terms, the territory and the price aren’t essential ones for the free license. It has been specified that the owner must inform the user about the ways of «free» use of the object of the license. Along with it, the owner (author) needs to confirm his exclusive right to this object of the license.
