Software Licensing refers to the legal framework that governs how software can be used, distributed, and modified. It is an agreement between the software creator (or distributor) and the user that outlines the rights and restrictions on the software's use. This can include the number of devices on which the software can be installed, the duration of use, whether the software can be modified, and the responsibilities of both parties. There are various types of software licenses, including proprietary licenses (restricting access to source code and modification) and open-source licenses (allowing users to view, modify, and distribute the code). Common examples of software licenses include the GNU General Public License (GPL), MIT License, and End-User License Agreements (EULAs).
