Licence: Difference between revisions

A [[contract]]ual permission granted by the owner of a right, or item of property to another person to use that property or exercise that right. This might be an exclusive licence (as with a physical item — only one person can use it at a time) or ''non''-exclusive (as with [[intellectual property]], where many people can share the right without upsetting each other).
