Invention, Intellectual Property and Business Models

This week we were told to create and document a license for our final projects. Develop a plan for the shareing or the dissemination of your final project. Prepare a summary slide and video clip For your final project.

My Final project's idea is a bluetooth controlled Camera Slider that can be Digitally fabricated in any fablab. I want to keep developing the idea and maybe turn it into a startup.

Licences

according to wikipedia "A license may be granted by a party ("licensor") to another party ("licensee") as an element of an agreement between those parties. A shorthand definition of a license is "an authorization (by the licensor) to use the licensed material (by the licensee)."

I decided to use Creative Commons licences So i read all of their licences and i wanted to choose one of them and i found that page which helps you to find your desired licence. So i choose Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)

Creative Commons License
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

which allow others to remix, tweak, and build upon my work non-commercially, as long as they credit me and license their new creations under the same identical terms.

there was another license that i wanted to choose which is the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License which is the same as my licence but it allows commercial use but i didn't want to choose it to keep my project free and OpenSource.
