Detailed explanation-1: -Proprietary software licenses often forbid users from redistributing, sharing with other entities, or transferring the license. Users cannot sell their proprietary license, even if they no longer want it. It also means that you cannot make a copy of the software and either sell or give that copy away.
Detailed explanation-2: -Exclusive rights. The owner of proprietary software exercises certain exclusive rights over the software. The owner can restrict the use, inspection of source code, modification of source code, and redistribution.
Detailed explanation-3: -Registration for copyright protection requires a registration application, a deposit of a copy of the work and a fee – all of which are filed at the Copyright Office at the Library of Congress. Once a copyright is registered, there is no cost for maintaining it.
