Licenses

A license is a legal agreement that grants permission to use someone else’s work, product, or intellectual property under specific conditions. It defines what you can and cannot do with the licensed material, such as software, music, or trademarks. Licenses help protect the rights of creators while allowing others to use or distribute their work legally. Different licenses may have varying rules—some are very open, while others are restrictive. Essentially, a license clarifies the terms of use and ensures proper authorization, making it clear what is permitted and what is not.
