Licensing is not limited to software. We can associate a license with any kind of asset that holds intellectual value, and can thus be turned into a source of revenue. Here, our interest is on information assets, which include software and software components, but also services, processes, and content. For instance, a song that a user downloads from iTunes is an information asset. So is a web service such as the Google Maps API (application programming interface).}, issn = {1913-6102}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/105}, author = {G.R. Gangadharan and Michael Weiss} }
