Emergence definition

Licensing is the authorization granted by a copyright holder or owner to permit another party to use, reproduce, or distribute their intellectual property, which is a process of operation, unfolding as a sequence of changes, driven by energy and occurring over time, resulting in a predictable and repeatable pattern of transformation, in exchange for payment or royalties.
