Hello,

Copyright is a Intellectual Property right for the creators of art, books or any artistic work. It grants the creator very specific legal rights and remedies. As soon as the creator creates something automatically copyright is initiated. The creator does not need to do anything.  While a Licence is a  legal document. Unlike copyright, licence does not apply automatically one needs to apply for it. It grants users of the software specific, and limited, rights.

Dear Aspirant,

copyright is referred to as an intellectual property, that provides the respective owner the complete right to make copies of the creative work, for a given period of time. The work can be literary, artistic, technical, educational etc.

Whereas, licensing is referred to as, a type of business arrangement, wherein, a company gives another company the permission to manufacture their products for a specific payment value.

Hi there,

A copyright is a legal term which is used to declare or proof that who owns the intellectual property.

Whereas, Licensing is an agreement in which one person or company gives permission to another person or company to use the software or other intellectual property.

Hope this answer satisifes!
