Which of the following statements about software licensing are true? Select 3 options.

Proprietary licenses generally place tighter limits on copying, modifying, and sharing software than open-source licenses, so A is true. An end-user license agreement sets the terms of use and can protect both the software owner’s rights and the purchaser’s permitted use, making B true. Open-source software can let developers reuse and adapt existing code, often saving time and cost, so D is true. C is false because proprietary licenses commonly prohibit modification or redistribution, and free software can still have a license governing its use and sharing.
