I'd recommend the Apache License over the Expat License. It's a longer
license, but it doesn't need to be distributed with the program anyway, and
it provides protection from patents.
I advice against recommending and using http://choosealicense.com/. It uses
the open source viewpoint, promotes the attitude of “make the least effort
possible” when licensing, and contains outright falsehoods.
Specifically, it invites to the bad practice of simply placing a license file
That's really odd... that page used to have an explanation that no license
grants no permissions, and that the only permissions anyone got were a result
of GitHub's policies. I wonder why they would make it more vague and
misleading...
I guess now would be a good time to inform you that Trisquel does
automatically check for updates.
It doesn't, on my pc at least. Sooo dunno :/
¡Thanks for sharing the script!. Even if it duplicates existing
functionality, the intention is good and so is the attitude of working in the
problems you face and sharing the solution.
I recommend licensing under the GNU GPL 3 or any later version and to follow
the GNU project licensing
