+*** very helpful (19/09/24)
+ - a colection of all or richard stallmans paper's [https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/fsfs/rms-essays.pdf] (first published in 2002, updated 2004)
+ - a paper written by Nicolas Jullien (prof. at IMT) comparing and contrasting open vs proprietary software [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2559454_Open-Source_vs_Proprietary_Software]
+*** rather helpful (19/09/24)
+ - lawrence lessig is a researcher of law and political acitavist who has been tied with open/free software
+ for a long time, he is the editor of the stallman papers [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Lessig]
+ - larry wall, he is the designer of the perl language, and is pretty influental in the open soures space,
+ he has done work with UC berkeley. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Wall]
+*** of minor note (19/09/24)
+ - edward snowden, leaked NSA documents, while note about the licneses very much about keeping things open and avalible,
+ a paper writen on the effects of his actions can be seen here [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/275019554_The_Consequences_of_Edward_Snowden_NSA_Related_Information_Disclosures]

+ - GPL V3 [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html]
+ all about keeping the users freedom, by forcing software licensed with it to remain in an opensource form, meaning it cannot
+ be relicensed
+ - GPL V2 [https://opensource.org/license/gpl-2-0]
+ much the same as the GPL V3 but it can have a few differences specifically towards internationalization
+ DRM and patents.
+ it is often seen as controversal however due to some of its changes a video of linus talking about it
+ can be found here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKIZ7gJlRU]
+ - LGPL V3 [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.en.html]
+ the LGPL is like the name says it is a lesser version of the GPL, it can be relicensed under any license
+ it can be used as a smaller part of nonfree software unlike the GPL
+ can require nonfree software as a dependacy.
+ - LGPL V2.1 [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.en.html]
+ much the same as the V3 but without the changes to patents and other things like that
+ for ideas on the 2.1 vs 3 its much the same as GPL V2 to V3
+ - AGPL V3 [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html]
+ the AGPL provides much the same as the GPL however it has an added clause for servers/networked machines
+ if a fork of an AGPL project pushes an update to its users, it must be made avalible in source form
+ for both anyone. EXAMPLE, ive made a mesaging app under AGPL, another person forks it and adds
+ the ability to send images, they must make the code relvent to that open and avalible to avoid
+ my project becoming obsolete

-* notes (17/09/24)
-there doesn't seem to be many general use propritory licenses, most programs get their own licence, look into large companys
-IE apple, microsoft google
+ - some projects are under no license which is a similar effect to open source licences
