Recently I held a webinar on contracts during which I made passing reference to the difference between selling and licensing one's work. Afterwards, one of the attendees emailed me asking "so what actually IS the difference between selling your work and licensing it?" It's one of those questions that on the surface feels like it should have an obvious answer but the more I thought about it, the more I realized it's kind of like home equity or taxes (or really anything to do with money)... it's something that as an adult you vaguely understand, but you're honestly not sure and you've gone too long to admit it.
