Future of software licensing!
It is not easy to predict the situation of software licensing landscape in five years since this would be a long time in the computer generation. In my opinion, the issue is sort of related to the issue of open source and the fact that whether it offers competent solutions for at least wide spread software or not.
If we compare the current condition of software licensing to five years ago, there are more and more open source software and more proprietary software went under free licenses. The reason can be the popularity of open source and which it applies different beneficial licensing approaches that are harmless for an ordinary user.
The reputation of free licensing would change the proprietary software landscape from ordinary and non-beneficial consumers to professionals and companies who earn money by using these kinds of software thus, they are able to pay for their professional use.
Applicability of copying restrictions!
Copying restrictions should be applied in a situation that both consumer and producer can gain benefit out of it. If the consumer of software or any digital products use it for commercial purposes, should share the benefits; in this case the copying restrictions can be more applicable because it is more manageable to control the digital rights when it comes to the commercial use. Whereas for individuals who use digital products as sources of education or entertainment, it would be more costly to apply restrictions and control them. So, it’s better to change the restrictions framework to a way feasible and advantageous for both users and creators.
