Open source? #1

Closed oakmac closed 10 years ago

oakmac commented 10 years ago

Is this code open source? If so, under which license?

If not, what am I allowed / not allowed to do with it?

I suggest the wtfpl via. Coding horror on licenses

Very interesting excerpt in that article regarding unlicensed code:

Because I did not explicitly indicate a license, I declared an implicit copyright without explaining how others could use my code. Since the code is unlicensed, I could theoretically assert copyright at any time and demand that people stop using my code.

My vote is for the MIT License.

From this article:

Everyone understands the legal implications of the MIT license. Weird licenses like the WTFPL and the Beer license pretend to be the "ultimate in free licenses" but utterly fail at this goal. These fringe licenses are too vague and unenforceable to be acceptable for use in some companies. On the other side, the GPL is too restrictive and dogmatic to be usable in many cases. I want everyone to benefit from my code. Everyone. That's what Open should mean, and that's what Free should mean.

All kidding aside, yes I also support the MIT License and all my open projects use it.

:+1: for MIT
