What's the BEST open source license for your project?

One of the first decisions you have to take when starting a new open source project is to decide on the open course license. The license decides what others can do with your work and very often it's impossible to change it after the first release of your app. In this video let's cover which license might be the best for you: the GNU GPL v3, MIT license, or Mozilla Public License aka MPL. And when you can choose the license and when you really do not have any choice.

BSD is another very free option, the difference between it and MIT is the attribution.

How can I identify if my GPLV3 licensed code is used by other organisations ?

@youtubegoogle4163 Жыл бұрын

Because most of the commercial organizations don't release code, how can we identify if our code is present in it in back-end or not ?

Good question. the answer is, that usually you can't. There is no central registry of the code

You can't, in general, but if you think a specific organization is using your code you can ask, and hope that they are honest about it. I've worked in at least one company where someone from middle management has turned up looking flustered, asking what code we're using and what license that code is under.

(assuming you're in the eu) you are allowed to decompile binaries for personal use, provided you do not modify it (outside of error correction) or distribute those results. as this info is obtained legally, you could use that as evidence in a court (*i think*). also, on top of the gpl being shit in the first place, it was also made by a misogynist who has also campaigned against a grammatical form in the english language (epicene) in order to not call people their preferred pronouns. he's also supported convicted sex offenders. if you want a copyleft license (why), use something else.

@@matthewboyer4212 A. why is it bad? you called it bad but didnt explain why. B. who cares? what does the creator of the license have to do with the license itself, stop conflating creations with creators

My project is fresh (not based on any other modules/libraries) I want organisation to ask me for permission before using my project code available on GitHub. (I may charge "money" or "advertising me" in return for using my code) Which license should I go with ?

This is not open source. You are building a prioprietary software

GPL: the open source license which assumes the worst in humanity. BSD: the open source license which assumes the best in humanity. MIT: the same as BSD but for people who hate the west coast.
