They're sort of contracts. If you do this, you get a copyright exemption; otherwise, you don't have the legal right to do anything.

- dominicjj 5y agoThey have nothing to do with contracts and there's a simple test for it. When contracts are violated, then if there's litigation the parties consult the relevant contract law for how to proceed. When a license is violated, the parties consult whatever law the license was permitting an exception to. If you copy software without a license, you can be sued for copyright infringement. If you fish without a license, you can be sued for trespassing.
