A software license is a legal instrument (usually by way of contract law, with or without printed material) governing the use or redistribution of software.

Under United States copyright law all software is copyright protected, in source code as also object code form.

The only exception is software in the public domain.

A typical software license grants the licensee, typically an end-user, permission to use one or more copies of software in ways where such a use would otherwise potentially constitute copyright infringement of the software owner's exclusive rights under copyright law.

Information assurance (IA) is the practice of assuring information and managing risks related to the use, processing, storage, and transmission of information or data and the systems and processes used for those purposes.

Information assurance includes protection of the integrity, availability, authenticity, non-repudiation and confidentiality of user data.

It uses physical, technical and administrative controls to accomplish these tasks.

While focused predominantly on information in digital form, the full range of IA encompasses not only digital but also analog or physical form.

These protections apply to data in transit, both physical and electronic forms as well as data at rest in various types of physical and electronic storage facilities.
