Hi,
I want to upload a software code as an opensource software and want to
use an open source licence for it. The software is called QT2Decoder,
it is an image processing software for post processing of MRI
specially designed for brain pathology.
Can you guide me on how to get an open source licence for it?
Your question is unclear:
- if you're trying to USE software written by someone else, it's up to
the author what license and other terms that they release under - you
have to contact the copyright owner and negotiate if you want something
other than their standard license
- if you're the author (as implied by "upload" and the currently empty
sourceforge repository with what looks like your name attached) - YOU
decide what license you release the code under, you don't have to "get"
a license from anyone - if you're looking for the wording of common open
source licenses (e.g., gpl, Apache) - you might look at:
http://opensource.org/licenses
For more information, you might look at:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/ (biased toward GPL - but then, they pretty
much invented open source licenses, so they're entitled"
