Copyrights
Copyrights exist in order to protect authors of documentation or software from unauthorised copying or selling of their work. A copyright infers that only with the author's permission may such activities take place.
As a designer I need to be aware of these legalisation when using content and software. A good example of this is the website I am using at the moment HOTGLUE.ORG. At the bottom of the page I can see the attributions of the website which are as follows:
This shows that this website is protected from copyright from 2010 to 2013. They will need to update this soon. This means I cannot copy their website attributes to make profit to my own benefit without their permission. Otherwise I may be fined or face consequences.
A Copyleft
Copyleft is a general method for making a program (or other work) free (in the sense of freedom, not “zero price”), and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well.
The simplest way to make a program free software is to put it in the public domain. This allows people to share the program and their improvements, if they are so minded. But it also allows uncooperative people to convert the program into proprietary software. They can make changes, many or few, and distribute the result as a proprietary product. People who receive the program in that modified form do not have the freedom that the original author gave them; the middleman has stripped it away.

When clicking on the GPL3 I opened a website the Free software foundation which I believe sponsors and protects Hotglue.org. The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation based in Boston, MA, USA. They welcome to a society for free software advocates, supporting the ethical cause of computer user freedom they defend the freedoms and rights of all computer users.
Defining:
Authorship:
Authorship is the fact of being the person who has written a particular book, document etc.
The person who originates or gives existence to anything and that authorship determines responsibility for what is created.
Interaction:
Interaction is the activity of being with and talking to other people and the way that people react to each other
the process by which different things affect each other or change each other
If you interact with someone- by talking, looking, sharing, or engaging in any kind of action that involves the two people- you can be said to have an interaction with that person.
Creative Commons
legal way of keeping as much or as little control of their work as they want. It is a non profit organization that increase sharing and improves collaboration. Their mission is to develop and steward legal and technical infrastructure that maximises digital creativity, sharing and innovation.
