Licensing
considerations for software archived at ibiblio
First
you really should look at the Open Source Initiative website
- they are the best authority on what the licensing issues
are. In particular, look at the page on licensing options:
http://opensource.org/licenses/index.html
There
are four main licenses that are used for Open Source software
- to take the quick route, you might want to just select
one of these:
The
super-quick route is to just specify 'GNU General Public
License (GPL)'. This is the oldest and most common.
You
MUST specify a license when you submit your software. Just
stating 'freeware' or 'shareware' isn't enough. Thanks!
