What is /g/'s favorite license?
>mine is pic related
I cant get a licence, im an illegal
Driver's license
>>54901569
Build wall
Microsoft EULA :^)
GPLv2
Why, the GNU GPL of course.
>>54901564
The Adobe Photoshop License
>>54901870
Fuck off linus.
The license to kill.
WTFPL.
you just do what the fuck you want to
ISC license
>>54901564
Same, I license all my stuff as Apache 2 as well. Anything that has 'GPL' in it is fucking cancer.
>>54902005
this
>>54902057
>>54902032
Learn about licenses before using licenses.
>>54902095
I'll do what the fuck I want to regarding licenses.
>>54901564
MIT
Apache is just GPL-lite.
GPLv3
>>54902222
Apache is completely permissive. Its the opposite of the GPL.
EUPL v1.1
I like the v1.2 draft better, but seriously, it was supposed to be published in 2013, damn bureaucracy, the European Commission is worse than kafka....
BSD, WTFPL etc have all the same propblems: They restrict the software freedom. Why? Because it's not quaranteed that source released unther these licenses will stay free, sine they permit others to take the code and make it proprietary.
If you want a license that takes care that your software can stay free and it's users can do what they want with it, use GPLv3+.
>>54902276
>3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
>4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You meet the following conditions:
>b. You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files;
>5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of this License
etc. etc.
>completely permissive
>>54902418
GPL is basically the American idea of freedom.

>>54902418
Excuse my fat fingers.
>>54902418
>they permit others to take the code and make it proprietary
Wrong. You can't change the license. It's still permissive and always will be. The difference is you don't have to infect your changes or additions to that code with viral GPL communism.
>>54902454
>Due to the extremely minimal restrictions of BSD-style licenses, software released under such licenses can be freely modified and used in proprietary (i.e., commercial) software for which the source code is kept secret.

>>54902454
They can't change the license but they can add various restrictions to their own fork of the software. It will be permissive proprietary software by the time it gets to the user.
>>54902454
>GPL communism
>>54902487
But the permissive code itself isn't relicensed and can't legally be. If I take FreeBSD and modify some shit and then release my modified OS in binary form only, FreeBSD doesn't cease to exist or become proprietary.
>>54902454
Have you read any of those licenses? The WTFPL literally says you do what the fuck you want to. Want to copy/paste the code into your program, close source it, re-license it, sell it and never mention how you got that code? That's a-okay under the WTFPL.DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE

3 clause BSD license

Windows 10 EULA. I like being fucked in the ass and tricked into using a service thinking I am owning the OS.
>>54901988
Downloading and using PhotoShop CS2 from Adobe's site is still illegal without a license

>This is a problem
I think that if I ever made some worthwhile program, I'd put a clause in there just to mess with people, like all comments must be written in a certain way, eg. using the British English spelling/variant form where possible, and without the letters 'v,' 't,' and 'l'
>>54901564
Reminder if linux was GPLv3 then you couldn't be cucked by your phone's locked bootloader.

Reminder if you dumb kids would stop buying smartphones then the world would be 200000x better.
BSD-4. Because its business friendly and not autist.
>>54902772
>>won't hold up in a court of law
hasn't been tested in a court of law.
>>not even endorsed as a valid license by fsf/osi
FSF director considers it valid
>>doesn't even include a disclaimer meaning a user of your code can sue you randomly for no reason
because it's all-purpose not just software, and the website provides wording to use to add a warranty if you're choosing to use it for code.
2 clause bsd
MIT/BSD
>>54901564
Everything I made is in GNU AGPL v3 or GNU GPL v3.
All copyright and licenses are meaningless. You don't really own anything, and it's foolish to think otherwise.
Just release your software into the public domain (CC0) or "uncopyright" and be done.

BSD, and WTFPL of course
/g/ is chock full of cucks who think this bullshit will work in any real world environment
BSD = stolen by apple, sony, et al countless countless times, bsdrones defend this by saying they're popular now. Ironically bsd shits are the stereotypical hippie who is anti-corporation so say hello to your boss losers
WTFPL = literally always the same memelet shit who doesn't really know anything about licenses and just repeats WTFPL because it has WTF in it, always says "I do what the fuck I want" and is always always some CS dropout who has never even compiled a program once
what's a good open source license if I don't want goys to monetize my stuff?

I'm using GPL3 for my latest program because I'm getting more worried every day about freedom.
