    If you want to patent something globally you have to patent it in every country, and there are some things like software that aren’t patentable in some countries.

    A license just tells someone what they can and can not do with something, it doesn’t protect an idea. For code it literally just protects the written code, someone could write a clean room clone, i.e. never looking at your code.
