licensor

definition

Groups information on the person who is legally eligible to license and actually licenses the resource. The licensor could be different from the creator, the distributor or the IPR holder. The licensor has the necessary rights or licences to license the work and is the party that actually licenses the resource that enters the META-SHARE network. She will have obtained the necessary rights or licences from the IPR holder and she may have a distribution agreement with a distributor that disseminates the work under a set of conditions defined in the specific licence and collects revenue on the licensor's behalf. The attribution of the creator, separately from the attribution of the licensor, may be part of the licence under which the resource is distributed (as e.g. is the case with Creative Commons Licences).
