Editing License (section)

==Artwork and character licensing==

A licensor may grant a permission to a licensee to copy and distribute [[copyright]]ed works such as "art" (e.g., [[Thomas Kinkade]]'s painting ''Dawn in Los Gato'') and characters (e.g., [[Mickey Mouse]]). With such license, a licensee need not fear a claim of copyright infringement brought by the copyright owner.

[[Artistic license]] is, however, not related to the aforementioned license. It is a [[euphemism]] that denotes freedom of expression, the ability to make the subject appear more engaging or attractive, by [[fiction|fictionalizing]] part of the subject.
