permissive licenses

Permissive licenses are types of software licenses that allow users to do almost anything with the code, including modifying, distributing, and using it in proprietary software, without many restrictions. They typically require only that the original license and copyright notice be included with any distributed versions. This flexibility encourages innovation and collaboration, as developers can freely build upon existing code without worrying too much about compliance. Examples of permissive licenses include the MIT License and the Apache License. Essentially, they promote openness while still protecting the original creator's rights.
