The Search for an Open Source License
-
Every now and then I see a post from someone who needs help finding a license... so I guess its time I join the club. First, I would like to mention that Yes, I have spent a while searching on Google. I've looked through the lists on the Open Source Initiative, and the Free Software Foundation. Odds are I've overlooked something, but I haven't been able to find one I think is suitable. So that's where I'm at right now. I'm hoping that someone who is more familiar with commonly used Open Source Licenses can point me in the right direction. So what I'm looking for in a license should include some of the following: 1) Semi-Viral License (i.e. all modified versions is under the same license).... 2) But, you can combine it with non-licensed work. 3) The licensed source code must be free and publicly available (even if a derivative work is commercial and/or includes non-licensed proprietary work). Again, I'm just hoping that someone can give me a lead in the right direction. Any help that you guys can give is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jacob W.
