What is a "license"?
A license is an official permission provided by the owner or creator of a work, stating the specific rights and conditions that allow others to use, sell, or share their work. This agreement ensures that the conditions are understood and followed, protecting the creator’s rights while allowing others to legally access and use the content within the specified conditions.
