Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual property (IP) are legal property rights over creations of the mind, both artistic and commercial, and the corresponding fields of law. Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; ideas, discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs.
At Mirata we develop and use a range of Open Source Technology to support our clients projects and services. Most of the applications we use are produced as Free Software and are released under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL). Software is written using source code. With open source software, the code is protected by a special license that ensures everyone has access to that code. That means no one company can fully own it. At Mirata we will never hide the source code or core technologies that we use from you. You will always be free to access and copy any aspect of the techology that we develop for you. This means that you are not locked into a single proprietary product.
The phrase "open source software" implies that the actual source code of the software is available under one of a number of different licenses that have been accepted by the Open Source Institute (OSI) as meeting its requirements for being designated as such. Those terms demand, at minimum, that the source code (i.e., code that can be easily understood by a developer, as compared to object code, which is readily "understood only by a computer) must be made available to the licensee. Many licenses, such as the GNU General Public License, or GPL, have additional requirements, such as requiring that someone that modifies and sells software received under that license must make those modifications available under the GPL as well. The GPL also prohibits including any license terms deemed to be inconsistent with its own.
