Copyright licenses generally fall into two main categories:
Exclusive License: The licensee has the sole right to use the work in the ways described in the license. Even the copyright owner cannot use the work in those same ways during the license term. Exclusive licenses must be in writing and signed by the copyright owner.
Nonexclusive License: The copyright owner grants permission to use the work but can grant the same rights to others at the same time. Nonexclusive licenses are more flexible, often used for stock images, music, or software.
