Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income

Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project

Choosing a Licence for the final project

I really like the Fab Lab license. It is short, simple and written so everyone can under stand. How ever for this project I choose the MIT license. They are quiet similar but If I where to create some form of business from this project the MIT license have a bit more weight to it. The two main parts of the license is:

There are no warranty or responsibility given author is not liable for any claims.There are no restriction what you can or can not do with it. Give credit.

I am also planning to organize an exhibition and a seminar regarding FabLabs when I return to Paraguay, where I will showcase the Lightbox and all other weekly projects I completed during the Academy. The goal is to spread the word about open source design, the Fab vision, Fab Cities and the Fab Academy in particular, because I am one of the first Paraguayans who has taken the course and I strongly believe that the maker movenment needs to be empowered in the universities of the country. I plan to directly involve my School, so we can benefit from each-other's experiences.
