1. CREATIVE COMMONS : INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

I found the Creative Commons license and I think it fits better to what I would like to do in the near future. Within Creative Commons there are several options depending on what each author wants.

"These copyright licenses (Creative Commons licenses or "CC" licenses) offer the author of a work a simple and standardized way to grant permission to the general public to share and use their creative work under the terms and conditions of their choice."

"In this sense, Creative Commons licenses allow the author to easily change the copyright terms and conditions of his work from "all rights reserved" to "some rights reserved"."

"Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright, but rely on them to allow you to modify the terms and conditions of the license of your work in a way that best meets your needs."

There are several types of licenses within the Creative Commons group. This graph shows the percentage of use of these types of license.

CC BY 4.0 "This license allows others to distribute, to mix, to adjust and to build from his work, even for commercial purposes, as long as it is recognized the authorship of the original creation. This is the most helpful license offered. Recommended for maximum dissemination and use of licensed materials."

Here is the specification of this license that basically allows modifications and commercial use.

CC BY-NC 4.0 This license allows others to intermingle, adjust and build from their work for non-commercial purposes, and although in their new creations must recognize its authorship and can not be used commercially, they do not have to be under a license with the same terms .

Here is the specification of this license that basically allows modifications but no commercial use. New creations do not have to be under a license with the same terms

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 This license allows others to intermix, adjust and build from their work for non-commercial purposes, as long as they recognize the authorship and their new creations are under a license with the same terms. This is the license that works better for me.

Here is the specification of this license that basically allows modifications but no commercial use. New creations have to be under a license with the same terms.

CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 This license is the most restrictive of the six major licenses, it only allows others to download the works and share them with others, as long as their authorship is acknowledged, but they can not be changed in any way nor can they be used commercially.

Here is the specification of this license that basically allows you only to download the file and share it with others.

2. APACHE

In case the production is a software (it is not my case) you can use an APACHE license. "In all cases, contributors retain full rights to use their original contributions for any other purpose outside of Apache while providing the ASF and its projects the right to distribute and build upon their work within Apache."

3. FABLAB MADE

I would be interested in having my objects designed with the FABLAB MADE label. This label indicates that the product uses re-used, upcycle and local materials. The production is local and can not be sent to different places because it seeks to lower the impact on the environment. This type of behavior contributes to having more Fab Cities. The only thing that makes it difficult for me to have this label is that one must register as FabLab and not as an independent person. I can expose my objects through a web page, Facebook fanpage, also place them in the design fairs of my city, "Lima Design Week" and also in "Casacor". To improve the product I could opt for a Crowdfunding, it is a collaborative mechanism of project financing.

4. FABMARKET : DIFFUSION

I would like to be able to sell my products through FABMARKET and in this way more people can not only see my designs but use them according to their needs.

The products that are commercialized in FABMARKET are open-source. That's why the Creative Commons license CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 works for me. I'm interested that the product can be sold on the FabMarket platform because it has global reach, more people could know about my products and download the files to manufacture them in a nearby FabLab. Having reviewed all this information, my future plans with all that I have learned in the Fab Academy is to be able to improve my lamp (final project) and to have a marketable product. I would have to think of the way that everything goes into a box not too big and easy to put together. I have the possibility to make more lamps and to be able to display them in an art gallery here in Lima and this way be able to make them known. If I can have the FabLab label I can differentiate myself. I would like sales to be done online so the option to do it through FabMarket interests me a lot. Look for other ways to also be able to sell the products and at the same time display them physically.
