Introduction

A license type standardizes the configurations of software licenses in the system and classifies them. To this end, it is important to configure a type in accordance with the software licenses that will be registered from it.

A software license is a contractual document that defines whether a piece of software is in public domain or blocked by copyright, and determines how the source code can be used. There are numerous types of software licenses, such as proprietary software, free software, open-source software, etc.
