Week 19 - Invention, Intellectual property and Income

Dissemination plan

For AliveWood I have no commercial intentions, but mainly to use it as part of a class or excersice on an educational program that promotes hands-on learning and fabrication methods. In that case, I would need to use: ATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL-SHAREALIKE 4.0 INTERNATIONAL license.
