Licenses

Software licenses have been common for PC software, but can just as well be used for tailor-made software. A licensee will have the right to use this software whereby the title (intellectual property of software) remains the sole property of the developer. Note that it is still possible to keep the intellectual properties (on hardware, method, or algorithm).
