Assignment

Invention, intellectual property and business model

Create and document a license for your final project. Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.



Select the license that you wnat use

In order to clarify clear my head about licenses I have used this useful web site.


My final project contains a mix of software, hardware and other material, so I decided to use two differents licenses, one for the hardware and another one specific for the software.
The content of this project itself is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license, and the source code is licensed under the MIT license.

MIT license

I have decided to use this license for the software because is very short and simple permissive license with conditions only requiring preservation of copyright and license notices. So I simply want that the final user can easly use and/or contribute to the project avoiding boring headache about licenses.

You can find all the details MIT license.

First release

The project was released open source and to the public domain from the first moment (the concept phase), but I wont push it until the conclusion of the Fabacademy, in order to have a first embryonic stage where who want can collaborate and contribute.



Second phase

After the conclusion of the Fabacademy I will continue to work on the project wollowing these steps:



Third phase

After a lot of testing and improuvment, the idea is to find a partner that come frome small industries that want to experiment the use of robotics and 3D printing in the real world application and small prodution; not only the research or Fablab classic use.
