Hi,
I am going to release an open source software project on sourceforge. They require a license that is OSI approved. Now I am searching for a license which fits my needs.
- It's fine if somebody used for free be it private or for business (i.e. commercial use shall be allowed)
- It's fine if somebody uses the source code be it to re-distribute it or to build upon it (re-use and derivated shall be allowed)
- It's even fine if somebody makes money from the source code itself or a derivate
- What I want in exchange is attribution when somebody uses the source code, modifies it or modifies a derivate of my source code.
It seems to me as if a Creative Commons BY license is quite much what I need. Does it cover my constraints?
I read that Creative Commons licenses are not really meant to be used for source code. Do I have to choose a different license (which)?
Would CC BY be a license which sourceforge accepts?
Regards
Ray
