You have been subscribed to a public bug: There are a ton of open source licenses to choose from when making a project, and it's quite a big responsibility to choose wisely when registering a project. However, I don't know anything about the differences between the various licenses.
I asked a question about it at the following URL and received a helpful response: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/39323 The response said that while Launchpad cannot get involved in the "minefield" of offering legal advice :), you might be able to provide a page with very general summaries and links to the official pages of each license, so that the uninitiated can do our research more efficiently. I can say that not knowing the licenses (but being required to choose at least one upon registering a project) was a barrier to my using Launchpad. (And I do *want* to use Launchpad--very, very much! You guys are have a terrific project going here, and I can't wait to see if/what SourceForge does in response, after sooo many years of hideous clunky interfaces… :) ** Affects: launchpad-documentation Importance: Low Status: Triaged -- Feature request: "More Info" page on open source licenses https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/251396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Launchpad Documentation Team, which is subscribed to Launchpad Documentation. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-doc Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-doc More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
