Graded multiple-choice exam · pass mark 70%
Administered online, unproctored, with identity verified only to the level of a confirmed email address.

The pass mark is provider-set and is not supported by published reliability statistics or a standard-setting panel.

Learning objectives

  • Explain which elements of software qualify for copyright protection and which do not
  • Distinguish between common software licensing structures and the rights and obligations each creates
  • Apply fair use principles to real-world scenarios involving software reproduction and modification
  • Identify the legal risks and open questions associated with AI-generated code in organizational contexts
  • Interpret how recent case law affects software development, procurement, and third-party reliance decisions
  • Assess where current software practices may create copyright exposure and where policy updates may be warranted

Audience & prerequisites

Intended audience: Executives, legal advisors, and CISOs and security teams who develop, procure, or rely on software and need a working understanding of the copyright rules and emerging legal questions that govern it.

Level: intermediate

Prerequisites: None — designed for non-technical professionals, though a general familiarity with software procurement or development will help contextualize the discussion.

Self-submission by credit type

Legal Cyber Academy is not an accredited provider; the notes below explain how a learner may self-submitthis activity where their board permits. The pathways shown reflect this course’s subject matter. Always confirm your board’s current rules.

  • CLE (attorneys)

    Many U.S. jurisdictions let an attorney apply for CLE credit for a non-accredited program (often called individual attorney or self-application). Use this certificate plus the course Information Sheet as your supporting documentation. Your state bar or CLE board decides whether credit is granted, how much, and any self-study cap.

  • CE / CPD (privacy, insurance, IT)

    Where your professional body recognizes self-reported or self-directed learning (CPD) — for example many privacy (CIPP/CIPM) and security certifications — record this activity using the certificate and Information Sheet. Confirm your program's self-reporting rules and any documentation it requires.

Legal Cyber Academy is not an accredited continuing-education provider, and its courses are not pre-approved for CLE, CE, CME, or CPE credit. Each course provides a graded assessment, a verifiable Certificate of Completion, and a Continuing Education Information Sheet documenting instructional time, learning objectives, faculty, and a timed agenda — the records most licensing bodies require when a learner applies for self-submitted or self-study credit. Whether credit is granted, and how much, is determined solely by your licensing board. Confirm your board's rules before claiming credit.
