" summary

Overview of the actual IP rules for open source: outlines four IP types (trade secrets, patents, trademarks, copyright) and explains how permissive (MIT/BSD/Apache), weak copyleft (MPL/LGPL) and strong copyleft (GPL/AGPL) licenses change redistribution obligations; notes Apache has patent clause while most licenses are silent on patents; warns that changing license needs contributor consent and that OSI approval, trademark rules and dual‑licensing consequences determine real risk and compliance.
