A Copyright License Agreement is a contract under which a copyright owner allows another person or company to use their copyrighted material in one way or another: to reprint it, or distribute it, to use it for a specified amount of time, and more.

Contract copyright laws protect your creative work. This gives you the authority to decide who gets to use your work and how they get to use your work. The person who owns copyrighted material (and who lets someone else or a business use that copyrighted material) holds a copyright license agreement.

Generally, the difference between the two is that licenses allow a copyright owner to retain the rights while giving someone else a right to exercise some of them, whereas an assignment results in a copyright owner losing control over the work.

You can give a copyright license to someone either verbally or in writing, although the latter is always preferable so as to better protect your interests. A written license requires a copyright license agreement, which requires either a template, a standard agreement, or drafting your own custom document.

A copyright exclusive license is one in which ownership in one or more rights is transferred by the copyright owner. A copyright nonexclusive license occurs when the owner retains ownership of the copyright and/or may license the same right to others.
