S5 ICT | Information Literacy and Intellectual Property Practice Paper 2 (Advanced)
Move into judgement: the four fair dealing factors, proprietary versus open-source licensing, Creative Commons elements, the six data principles, plus trade secrets and design terms.
Attempt first, mark afterwards Allow about thirty minutes; judgement items must state the basis, either a statutory element or a licence clause, as a bare conclusion earns nothing.

03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purpose and nature of the use, nature of the work, the proportion taken, and the effect on the market or value of the work | The four are weighed together; being non-commercial or taking little is not enough on its own. |
| 2 | Whether the source code is available and whether the licence allows modification and redistribution | Price is not the dividing line: open-source products may charge for support while proprietary ones may be given away. |
| 3 | Attribution, non-commercial, no derivatives, and share-alike | The four elements combine into six common licences, so check whether non-commercial applies before reuse. |
| 4 | Lawful purpose, fair means of collection, limited use, no excessive retention, security safeguards, and access with correction | Purpose limitation and use consistency are central: a stated purpose cannot later be stretched at will. |
| 5 | A trade secret lasts only while it stays confidential, whereas a patent discloses the technology in exchange for twenty years of exclusivity | The choice is secrecy for as long as possible versus monopoly for a fixed term, depending on how easily the technology can be reverse-engineered. |
| 6 | Five years first, renewable four times at five years each, up to a maximum of twenty-five years | Five-year terms renewed four times reach twenty-five years, after which no further renewal is possible. |
| 7 | They differ: plagiarism is an academic or professional ethics matter while infringement is legal liability, and one act can be both | Even a fair dealing use that escapes liability can still be plagiarism if the source is not credited. |
| 8 | Record the author, the organisation, the publication date and the link, and state the year and definition behind the figure | Statistics age quickly, and the year and definitions cause more errors than the numbers themselves. |
| 9 | A derivative work built on GPL code must also be released under the same GPL licence with its source code | This is the key difference from permissive licences such as MIT or Apache, so consider it before commercial use. |
| 10 | It depends on the licence: the GPL allows commercial use but forces derivatives to stay open, while some CC terms bar commercial use outright | Open source concerns access to code, commercial permission is a separate licence term, so check both. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
