Licenses

Damn, I just realized I should really put a license on code I release. Anyone have any links to explanations of the pros and cons of different open source licenses?

If you end up GPL'ing your program, I'd advice you to take the licensing quiz about GPL and LPGL at http://www.gnu.org/cgi-bin/license-quiz.cgi ; and furthermore, think of the consequences of the correct answers ;-)

Hope it doesn't feel like I'm spreading FUD here, but I just happen to think that these license issues are a big mess which I wouldn't want to be part of. In my opinion you're best of with BSDish license or even with public domain, but like I said, I just don't want to take part with all this fuss.

Wow, thanks for the link. I'm not doing well on the quiz at all!

There are certain requirements I want to meet. I suppose I just have to find out which of the open source licenses meet the criteria, and write my own if none do Smiley I really don't have a good grasp on copyright law or any of this, unfortunately. Time to do some reading.
