Here are some questions for you to consider this week as you do your readings. Try to come up with some answers for yourself as you go:

  • If I find code on the internet, what am I allowed to do with it?
  • Is code subject to copyright?
  • As a student, if I create code at Seneca who owns the copyright, me or Seneca? What about if I'm working at a job?
  • How do I copyright my work?
  • How long does my copyright last in Canada?
  • What is open source?
  • What open source do I use?
  • How do I write a good blog post?
