Yeah, I'm surprised too. I only gave a one word response of my favourite
license, but damn! Everyone else flourished with good information!
It's nice when something little like this sparks a discussion
Anyways, I like zlib because it gives great freedoms for the consumers but

I'm not surprised people have an opinion and are informed about these
things. I'm old enough to remember how Microsoft sucked the life out of the
desktop software industry due to their anti-competitive practises. They
were able to do this cuz they could keep their source code secret, it

I'll second that. I remember Ballmer's Linux is a cancer... and gave
an overview of the origins and rationale to students in a (shame - the
only Powerpoint) presentation I still use: http://www.slideshare.net/cubexplorer/opensource-5479951

thank you Mr. Stallman. Thank you Mr.
This is very helpful! I don't really mind though. Maybe public domain is best.

Hey there,
BSD uses full copyright, it's like saying all rights reserved.
Public domain means no rights
You could read Stallman's CopyLeft idea http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/

Why would I care if they did that?

BSD is people can do whatever they want with it, but I retain
copyright and they must credit me. (so the copyright part isn't that

A few of you sounded interested in using it. I haven't explicitly put a
software license on it, so I guess it's not technically FOSS yet. What licenses
are good? BSD? Public Domain?

Just wanted to mention that not everything is so peachy in the public domain.
Some jurisdictions do not recognize the right of an author to dedicate
a work to the public domain; and there is no single legal definition
for what is the public domain that every jurisdiction agrees on.

This is all interesting stuff - never knew the Camping community had a
licensing information stream. I gave a talk that included the basics
(A tiny history of Stallman, FOSS and the Open Source 'split') to
