Copyrights vests in creator unless explicit transfer via “work for hire” contract or clause in employment agreement (in most jurisdictions)
Copyrights don't require formal registration
General Public License (“copyleft”) open-source agreements require anyone who uses and/or enhances code to make it publicly available
Consider it like a virus: once infected, it spreads to anything that it touches
Lesser General Public License agreement allows some ability to retain private rights of open-source software that is enhanced by private parties
Apache 2.0 tends to be viral – all derivative works are covered by Apache 2.0
Patent rights are automatically granted under this
If you provide code to Hyperledger, anyone can use it without copyright and you give up patent protection rights, you can still create unique derivative works and copyright them
It includes a promise not to sue people who use Apache 2.0 software for patent infringement
Patents vs copyrights
Patents cover “ideas”
Copyrights cover code
