Ask about Licence

Answers are drawn from this dictionary entry and the rest of the CASRAI corpus, with a link to every source.

Answers are AI-generated from CASRAI’s own published pages and can be wrong, so check the linked sources before relying on one; your question is logged without personal data — never sold, never used to train a third-party model — to show us what CASRAI is missing, so please do not type personal or confidential details. How we use this

An official document that gives you permission to own, do, or use something, usually after you have paid money and/or taken a test. Commonly used licences for open access works include Creative Commons licences. In the UK context, information about licences can be obtained from the IPO (Intellectual Property Office).
