[求助]OG019（已解答）

19. Even though most universities retain the royalties from faculty members’ inventions, the faculty members retain the royalties from books and articles they write. Therefore, faculty members should retain the royalties from the educational computer software they develop.
The conclusion above would be more reasonably drawn if which of the following were inserted into the argument as an additional premise?
A. Royalties from inventions are higher than royalties from educational software programs.
B. Faculty members are more likely to produce educational software programs than inventions.
C. Inventions bring more prestige to universities that do books and articles.
D. In the experience of most universities, educational software programs are more marketable than are books and articles.
E. In terms of the criteria used to award royalties, educational software programs are more nearly comparable to books and articles than to inventions.

请问，royalties是什么东东？哪位大侠可以帮忙扫一下盲，给点专业方面的基础知识？谢谢！

版税

知识产权

再顶。

有了，针对这题就是说：
在大部分大学里，如果是faculty的“发明”，版权归学校所有；如果是faculty所写的“书和文章”，版权则归他们自己。而对于faculty开发的教育电脑软件，因为这些软件（比“发明”）更类似于“书和文章”，所以版权应该归他们自己。
