Week 18:
Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income

Mission objectives:

Summarise two kinds of licences and explaine why you chose one.

Imagine and outline possibilities and describe how to make them probabilities.

After short research on web about license sites I picked the Creative Common License .
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)

I want to let people copy, distribute, display and modify my work, as long as they distribute any modified work on the same terms. If they want to distribute modified works under other terms, they must get my permission first.

This license let others:
Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format
Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material.

Limitations when you use this kind of license are:
Attribution — Users must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
NonCommercial — Users may not use the material for commercial purposes.
ShareAlike — If anyone remixes, transforms, or builds upon the material, he/she must distribute their contributions under the same license as the original.

Especially for hardware I found the Open Source Hardware Association license which costs at least 25$ for one year membership.

Open Source Hardware (OSHW) is a term for tangible artifacts like machines, devices, or other physical things whose design has been released to the public in such a way that anyone can make, modify, distribute, and use those things.

Hardware is different from software in that physical resources must always be committed for the creation of physical goods. Persons or companies producing items under an OSHW license have an obligation to make it clear that such products are not manufactured, sold, warrantied, or otherwise sanctioned by the original designer and also not to make use of any trademarks owned by the original designer.

There is another kind of license I found. It is called “Do What The F*ck You Want To Public License”.
No limitations here.
