AI overview

Copyleft is a licensing approach that uses copyright law to ensure software (or other creative works) remains free and open for others to use, modify, and share. It matters because it creates a legal framework that prevents people from taking these freely available works and turning them into proprietary products, keeping them accessible to everyone.

Copyleft – rodzaj systemu licencjonowania praw autorskich, zezwalający na modyfikację pracy i jej dalszą redystrybucję na identycznych warunkach. Założenia systemu zostały stworzone w roku 1984 przez Richarda Stallmana na użytek oprogramowania, ale dziś są używane również dla innych rodzajów dzieł.
