I don't think copyright protects an algorithm. I think you'd need a
patent for that. So, I don't think you can license an algorithm. Of

So, is the algorithm patented as well as copyrighted? If so, I think

You can license something that is patented, thus, if an algorithm is
patented, it could be licensed.
