[Biofuel] Copyleft of biofuel information
Ok I am ready to publish the manual and BOM for my homebrew reactor. I want to offer it under some sort of copyleft license. The GPL is worded specifically for software but says pretty much what I wish to say about the open source and sharing of my published information i.e. that it can be freely copied and distributed but that no one can charge money for it. Does anyone on the list know of a public type license which is more appropriate for this kind of documentation? Also I am considering how to bundle the information with the license so that it comes as part of the package or my website contains some sort of gateway so that acceptance of the terms is required before download is allowed. I am real dumb when it comes to how to set this up and am looking for help or suggestions from anyone who is savvy.

Hi Joe, Thanks for your interest in posting your docs with an open license. I think there are a couple good options for you: the GNU Free Documentation License, and the Creative Commons License. Both offer a good amount of openness. There are subtle differences between them which I won't go into, but check them out at: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html http://www.creativecommons.org Best regards, -David Klann pgpmZShwilMrt.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
