      • We're going to explore licensing from the POV of a developer participating in open projects
  • Copyright
    • Who created it, "owns" it.
    • Set of exclusive rights granted to the work's creator
    • "The right to copy," to produce or reproduce a work or substantial portion thereof
    • Copyright is automatic when a work is created, you don't have to register it.
    • Copyright in Canada
    • Copyright Guide
    • In a software project, there can be many copyright holders (e.g., many contributors), or all contributors may assign their copyright to the project (e.g., CLA, which we'll cover later)
  • Licenses
    • Rights, privileges, responsibilities, etc. applicable to someone other than the work's creator
    • "Terms and Conditions"
    • These must be granted by a copyright holder
