Understanding and adhering to the appropriate licenses and standards - ensures legal compliance, enhances trust and credibility, and facilitates interoperability and compatibility. Let's explore the different types of licenses, commonly used software standards, and the benefits and challenges of implementing them.
Purpose of software licenses and standards
A software standard is a standard, protocol, or other common format of a document,file or data accepted and used by software devs while working on computer programs. Software standards enable interoperability between programs created by devs.
A software license is an agreement that grants a user access to software and its functions. Software licenses often place restrictions on user’s work with the software.
LICENSES Types of software licenses
Open source licenses promote collaboration and transparency, allowing users to access, modify and distribute software freely. Examples include the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) ,Public Domain and Permissive License-Apache,BSD,MIT.
Proprietary/Closed Source
Open Source/Free(FOSS)
Proprietary licenses are the most restrictive type of software licenses available- they grant exclusive rights to software owners. They restrict modification and distribution to protect intellectual property of the developer. Examples include Microsoft Windows as a software with a proprietary license. Users can't use any Microsoft products if they reject the end-user license agreement (EULA) that stipulates these restrictions.
