WEEK 19 : Intellectual Property

License properties : 1. MIT License : The total opensource license which allows the users of the code to do anything with it . The condition being the code is being given as "AS IS " . That means the people who use the code cannot sue the people who wrote it if anything goes wrong .

2. GNU GPLv3 License : This license makes sure that anybody who uses this intellectual property has an obligation to make sure that the derivation of the orginal work is made to be open-source.

3. Apache License : This allows the licensor with greater power as you need to notified of every redistribution . There is an aspect of monetization of your intellectual property .

This week in intellectual property Neil explained the difference between Patent , Intellectual Property , Copyrights and Licenses .

I have decided to add the Apache License to my work as it would give me the opportunity to generate some income from this project . The future plan for this project is as follows .

The initial blocks of the project have been implemented i.e the sensor movement . and sensor interfacing. . While these systems are working together . They are not at the level I would like them to be . I intend to keep working on this project after FAB-ACADEMY .

The plan is have develop this project till January 2019 at the Barcelona FabLab . This will be completed and packaged and sent to Vigyan Ashram ,where it will be deployed to nearby Agriculture college just in time for the flowering season of the mango.Then over the next 6 months data will be collected and analysed . The data will be further for analysis and intervention .
