When you create something, whether it is a painting, a graphic design or a digital design, you own it. If you would like to sell your creations for income, then copyright licensing is the way you can sell your creations for people to use and give your permission to use it, but only use it in a certain way.
This copyright licence is for personal use and allows you to give that permission to others to use your artistic creations in exchange for a fee. An example could be a set of clip art illustrations you sell online for people to use in their social media. Or perhaps you sell stock photographs for people to use on their website.
