- Copyright 版权 automatically gives a creator control over how their work is copied and used.
- You need permission to reuse copyrighted work.

- Open-source 开源 software is released with its code free to use, study, and improve.
- These let others build on your work legally.

Legal vs ethical
- Beyond the law lies ethics 伦理 — what is right, not just what is allowed.
- Using material legally is not always the same as using it ethically.
- Collecting and using people's personal data can raise ethical concerns even when legal.
- A responsible developer respects privacy.
If a use of data is legal, it is always ethical.

False. Legal and ethical are not the same: some legal uses of data still raise ethical concerns, such as privacy.
For a school website, the best choice is a Creative Commons attribution photo and:

A responsible developer respecting privacy means they:

Respecting privacy is an ethical duty beyond the law.
Responsible use
- A responsible developer is honest about how data is used and credits others' work.
- Doing the legal thing and the ethical thing together is the goal.
Choosing an image. A photo marked "all rights reserved" is copyrighted — copying it without permission is illegal. A Creative Commons "attribution" photo is legal to use if you credit the author. Choosing the second and adding the credit is both legal and ethical; taking the first without asking is neither.
Intellectual property and copyright protect creators, so reusing work usually needs permission. Creative Commons licenses and open-source code grant permission in advance. Beyond the law lies ethics: using data legally is not always ethical, so respect privacy, be honest, and credit others.
