ITPEC IP April 2026 Question 22
ITPEC IP April 2026 — Question 22 of 100
Only statement A is appropriate — open-source licenses can permit commercial sale while still imposing license conditions.
A product created with OSS may be sold; open source means freedoms to use, inspect, modify, and redistribute under its license, not that every distribution must be free of charge. B is false because merely publishing source code does not grant open-source rights. C is false because OSS normally remains copyrighted and its license uses that copyright to define permissions and obligations.
Answer (a)
Why not others: (b) wrongly includes B; (c) includes two false statements; (d) relies only on false statement C.
Key rule: Source availability, open-source licensing, public domain, and zero price are different concepts; always check the granted license rights.
