of their products. Anybody can use Processing and the PDE, modify it,
redistribute it and the GNU General Public License ensures that the Processing
PDE will always remain free.
So because Processing is free what about the content you create with Processing
does that also have to be “free” and open source?
The answer to this question is and will remain to be, no. The content you create
with Processing belongs to you, the creator, and you are free to do with it
whatever you please. If you wish to sell the software or code that you produce
with Processing it is your right to do so. If, however, you do not wish to sell your
work and subsequently do not choose to copyright your work there are various
options available to you to protect you and your work. Amongst these licences is
the GNU General Public Licence which protects the rights of developers of
computer programs that wish to ensure that the software they develop remains
free, including all derivatives that are made from the original software program.
Another such licence is the Creative Commons Licence, this licence allows
creators of media to reserve some rights of their work (if they choose to) and still
legally allows the copying, redistribution and modification of such media if the
author chooses to exercise these rights. Wikipedia is an example of a large scale
organization that licenses it's contents under a Creative Commons Licence and
Linux is an example of popular software that is licensed under the GNU General
Public Licence.
The GNU GPL 3 logo as started by the Free Software Foundation on the left and a
Creative Commons logo on the right both of these trademarks have become synonymous
with the term “copyleft”.
