If you have just finished work on your latest creation, be it music, software, writing, graphics, etc. and want to distribute it, it’s definitely in your best interest to license it. In a nutshell a license gives the end user the terms of use they must agree to in order to use your work. I’m sure a problem 99% of us face is we have no idea how to actually create a terms of use license and we don’t want to shell out big $$$ to pay someone to write it.
