Licensing

Why is it important?

Copyright licensing helps the owner of a work grant permission for use under clear terms, so the commercial value of the work is preserved and its use remains lawful. Copyright licensing is important to:

Monetize the Work

Licensing allows creators or rights holders to obtain economic benefit from the use of the work without giving up ownership.

Access Creative Works

Companies or individuals can use copyrighted works lawfully for a wide range of purposes.

Support the Creative Industry

Encourage collaboration and innovation through lawful use of existing works.
