LICENSE
WHAT IS A LICENSE?:
I searched over the internet to know what is the official definition of a license and I found the answer in this WIKIPEDIA PAGE , "A license is an official permission or permit to DO, USE, or OWN something (as well as the document of that permission or permit.It may be granted by a party ("licensor") to another party ("licensee") as an element of an agreement between those parties. A shorthand definition of a license is "an authorization (by the licensor) to use the licensed material (by the licensee).".

- My final project deliverable is a very early stage from the final end product that I would like to sell, and since my final product is to be used at home by several users I wanted to share my final project with the public to ensure that I get the user experience feedback and in the same time to allow others to develp and tweak it. Still I also want to be able to commercialize it.
- After some research: I decided to use Creative Commons licences and I found THIS PAGE which helps you to find your desired licence.
- Finally, I chose Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).
- The "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)" license allow others to remix, tweak, and build upon my work non-commercially, as long as they credit me and license their new creations under the same identical terms.
DISSEMINATION PLAN FOR THE FINAL PROJECT:
- After obtaining the license as per the previous section, I intend to publish my work using different methods to ensure it will reach the largest number of audience like:
- Using different Creative Commons Platforms (Example: YouTube, flickr, vimeo, ..etc)
- Publishing my files and designs in Github for others to clone it and be able to build upon it.
- Create my own blog / website to enable me to be reached and to receive feedback from others.
POSSIBILITIES:
- PRIMARY GAIN: My final project can be further developed to be commercialized and crystalize to be an end product.
- SECONDARY GAIN: Sharing the work I done hopefully will provide me with a good footprint on the wenb and brand my name, I will use that to increase my chances if I raised a crowd-funding. Also I have another IOT SMART HOME project that I am working on and adding this final project to it will benefit it as it will increase its capabilities.
