Week 7 Collaboration - Relingquishing Ownership

For the individual research entries, my topic was P2P network and software licenses


and this is what i found, reworded and typed myself


a EULA needs to be established for a successful agreement P2P network & software license 


What is a EULA?
A EULA is a legal contract between you and the software publisher. It spells out the terms and conditions for using the software. For example, it might say you can only install the software on one computer for your personal use, a fairly common stipulation. However, it might also say that by using the software you agree to third-party monitoring or to allowing other users to access parts of your computer.


My own ethical approach 



1. Is it illegal to copy a design?
yes it is, if you copy it without changing anything it is, but if you do copy someone's work, but modify it by at least 50% then it isn't illegal 
2. Is it ethical to sell a non-original design as your own?
no, that is just not acceptable 
3. What is the difference between ethics and law?
ethics is a persons own code of rules, while law is a set of perimeter which cannot be breached 
4. Do you value others intellectual property the same as your own?
yes i do, other wise there would be a lot of legal issues 



Make a list of 5 behaviour principles you consider essential for each of these:

  1. The BLOG EXERCISE was answered really well here - good research and summary.

    To complete this week's work, you still need to blog on the GROUP EXERCISE: relinquishing ownership.

    05 - Are you totally truthful when you are asked for opinions on other’s work?
