Week 19 : Invention, Intellectual Property and Business Models

• Create and document a license for your final project. Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.
• Prepare a summary slide (presentation.png, 1280x1024) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) in your root directory

License

Creative Commons licenses is a way to share my work, without losing my rights, and to let future users know what they can do and what is not permitted.

With those licenses, you can decide how and what you share.

• CC-BY : Creative Commons By Attribution. This license is the most permissive one. Your project can be tweaked, remixed, and built upon, and is even open for commercial sharing.
• CC-BY-ND : Creative Commons By Attribution Non-Derivative. Your project can be shared but not modified (mostly used by artist who want to keep integrity of their creation)
• CC-BY-NC: Creative Commons By Attribution Non-Commercial. Your project can be shared but must not be used in any way for commercial means.
• CC-BY-SA: Creative Commons By Attribution Share Alike. Your project can only be shared under the same original license terms
• CC-BY-NC-ND: Your project can't be modified or used for commercial means.
• CC-BY-NC-SA: Your project can't be used for commercial means and any modifications have to be shared under the same license terms.

I'd like my e-bin project to be shared, used by many peoples to help them to think about their ecological impact.
And I'd also like my project to be modified, improved by other users, but not for commercial use.
That's why I choose a CC-BY-NC-SA License for my project.

Dissemination

My e-bin project can be made in a Fablab (with 3D printer, laser cutter and electronic tools) and is cheap (I try to make it for less than 30$).
I think it as a modular system.
To disseminate, I'll share all my conception files. So, makers will be able to build it but also to modify it in order to adapt or improve.
