Answer 1

Q1: True.
- Copyright exists automatically when a work is fixed in a tangible form; registration is optional (though useful for enforcement).

Q2: False.
- Trademark rights can arise through use; registration gives stronger, clearer nationwide rights and extra legal remedies but isn’t the only way to be protected.

Q3: False.
- Patents are time‑limited (usually ~20 years), can be challenged, licensed, or limited in scope — they don’t prevent copying forever.

Q4: True (with caveats).
- Creative Commons licenses let creators permit reuse without separate permission, but you must follow the specific license terms (attribution, noncommercial, no derivatives, etc.) — misuse can still infringe.

Q5: False.
- Open source programs like Firefox and GIMP are generally free to use under their licenses; you don’t have to buy a subscription (though paid services/support may be offered).
