Answer:
FOSS software licenses – give rights to the customer that include modification and reuse of the software code, providing the actual source code with the software product(s). This open-source type of licensing affords the user authority to modify the software functions and freedom to inspect the software code.
Proprietary software licenses – provide no such authority for code modification or reuse and normally provide software with operational code only, and no source code. A proprietary software license often includes terms that prohibit “reverse engineering” of the object code with the intention of obtaining source code by the licensee.
In both cases, the software license will most often specify limitations of liability from use of the software product, any mutual responsibilities such as support, and any warranties or disclaimer of warranty.
Where software is not covered by any license, it is normally categorized as:
Public domain software – freely available for use and not copyright protected
Private unlicensed software – such as business applications that still falls under copyright protection
Open source and proprietary software licensing may also specify additional restrictions and terms:
Transfer of ownership to the buyer or retention of ownership by the seller
Any authorization for copying, selling, or distributing the software
Definition of whether the license constitutes purchase or leasing of the software
