Software Licencing And Copyright Questions
A software license refers to the legal agreement between the software owner or developer and the end-user, granting the user the right to use the software under certain conditions and restrictions. It outlines the terms and conditions for the use, distribution, modification, and other aspects of the software.
On the other hand, a software jurisdiction mechanism refers to the technical measures implemented within the software to enforce the terms and conditions of the software license. It ensures that the software is used in compliance with the license agreement by controlling access, usage, and distribution of the software. This mechanism may include features like product activation, license keys, digital rights management (DRM), or other technological measures to prevent unauthorized use or infringement of the software's copyright.
