Good work there.
Thanks

Please add a few words about copyleft and non-copyleft licenses.
Fine, I will add the details about them.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Excellent concise summary. Have linked it on my blog.

Good work there. 

Please add a few words about copyleft and non-copyleft licenses.

Both are Free (as in freedom) licenses. 

Also, please do put in place why you should use strong copyleft
licenses. (of course, this is a matter of choice - some people, like
*BSD developers, do not like copyleft licenses).

[ilugd] Understanding Open source code licenses

Hi LUG members,

I wrote a small blog post about common FAQ pertaining to FOSS licenses.
While I do not consider myself an expert of this matter, this post is just
an effort to present just a set of FAQ which software engineers usually
have.
Any comments/suggestions are welcome here as well as in the blog post.
