Chapter 2 Flashcards
A blank is, as the name implies, a legally recognized right to create a copy of something
copyright
In the past, copies were ignored on the principle of blank - that is, exceptions that allow portions of copyrighted material to be copied
fair use
A blank protects a single creative work, which can be considered an expression of an idea, but a blank protects the idea itself
copyright
patent
In the US, blank are legal. Although you can’t blank an entire program, you can blank the algorithms that the program uses
patent
Blank are another type of intellectual property. These are names, logos, and similar identifiers of a specific company or product
trademarks
Although software is subject to copyright law, most software is released with a blank, which is a legal document that claims to modify the rights granted by copyright law.
license
The blank, which is the license used by the Linux kernel, grants you the right to redistribute the software, including both the source code and binaries
General Public License
As a general rule, licenses for proprietary software blank your rights under copyright law, while open source licenses grant you additional rights
restrict
A blank is a license for a proprietary program that grants an organization the right to make a certain number of copies of the program
site license
Founded in 1985 by Richard Stallman, the blank is the driving force behind the GNU Not Unix(GNU) project
Free Software Foundation(FSF)
The FSF advocate for blank, which it defines as freedom to do things you want to do with the software, not the price of the software. “Free as in speech, not free as in beer.”
free software
The FSF defines what four specific software freedoms -
- Freedom to use software for any purpose
- Freedom to examine the source code and modify it as you see fit
3.Freedom to redistribute the software - Freedom to redistribute your modified software
The FSF philosophy and the license it inspires are often referred to as blank
copyleft
Copyleft licensing is sometimes called blank
reciprocal licensing
The legal expression of the FSF’s principles comes in the form of the blank
GPL (or GNU GPL)
Bruce Perens and Eric S. Raymond founded the blank in 1998 as an umbrella organization for open source software in general.
Open Source Initiative (OSI)
The biggest philosophical difference between the FSF and OSI is what?
A GPL requirement that derived works also be distributed under the GPL
Several licenses approved by the OSI are called blank, which allows users to copy, share, and modify the software with minimal requirements concerning software redistribution
permissive licenses
Two terms, blank and blank, are sometimes used as umbrella terms to refer explicitly to both types of software development
Free and open source software(FOSS)
Free/libre open source software(FLOSS)
What are the ten principles of open source software?
- Free Redistribution
- Source Code availability
- Permission to derive works
- Respect for source code integrity
- No discrimination against persons or groups
- No discrimination against fields of endeavor
- Automatic License distribution
- Lack of product specificity
- Lack of restriction on other software
- Technology neutrality
Whereas the FSF and the OSI are dedicated to promoting software freedom, the objectives of blank are broader. Its licenses are aimed at audio recordings, video recordings, textual works and so on.
Creative commons
The Creative Commons was founded by blank. Its goal is to combat what creatives and supporters view as a creative culture that is increasingly tied to permission granted (or not granted) by those who hold copyrights on earlier works
Lawrence Lessig
The Linux kernel uses blank license
GPLv2
The blank licenses allow modifications to be distributed under different licenses
Berkeley Source Definitions (BSD)
