Software License

A software license is a legal agreement that grants you permission to use a software program under specific terms set by the creator or owner. It outlines how you can use, modify, or distribute the software, and any limitations or restrictions. In essence, it’s a license to use, not own, the software, ensuring that the creator retains rights while allowing you to access its features within agreed boundaries. Different licenses vary in rights granted, ranging from open-source flexibility to proprietary restrictions, but all aim to protect the creator’s intellectual property.
