What I should learn in this week assignment - Recognize the range of licenses available.
- Choosing the license I will use.
- Formulate the future opportunities.
My final project is a musical instrument that I replaced the strings with laser beams that was directed to photo resistors and when I cut the laser beam by hand special tone comes out from the piezo depending on which string I cut.
I need to develop it so it will be typical like the original one and bring the same tones and I want to make it working using the computer to bring out the tones from the computer.
If I develop the instrument as I want, it will help all people who love it to easily learn it and use it.
I decide to make it open source so any one can modify it and maybe he can invent a new idea that will help in improving the instrument.
There are variety of the license available but I want my project to be open source and can be modified.

At the end I choose to license my project by Creative Common
The motivation to disseminate this project and continue its development after Fab Academy is mostly social. In the future after fab academy I will improve it to make each string bring more than one sound.
Collecting money need the creation of a company, and I will not make company alone as group management is better than single management. So I decide to make company with my friend.
The first part in the income come from selling the machine as there are many people who love music and want play with musical instrument so I will not find any problems in selling the instrument.
Second part is come from selling the advertisement related to the product as I want to improve the logo of the project so it can be brand that can be putted in T-shirts and other accessories.
Third part of incomes will come from the technical support of each part of the instrument as there will be people who will love the instrument but they don't have ideas about how to fix it or maybe they don't want to fix it.
Fourth part of income come from selling the spare parts of the instrument.
Fifth part of income can come from making practical workshops in how to make your own instrument.
This project is directed to all people who love music and I think there are too many people love music all over the world.
I think I can Manufacture the project locally as we have here all materials I need for start Manufacturing.
