There is not much more than that. You just need to choose a license and
reference it. For a list of OSI approved open source licesnes see:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/
Apache Software License 2.0 is a good choice if you want your project to
be liberally adopted.
I referenced the jquery-ui-amd
<http://mojo.codehaus.org/javascript-maven-tools/javascript-libraries/jquery-amd/source-repository.html>
project in this thread. Any project would do if it declares a license
like it should in its pom. Take a look at that. And please try and use
google search. It is your friend.

I recall a website that listed all the various licenses; but I can't
quite remember. Do you know where I can find a reference to this type
of reference?
Thank you.

Can someone tell me how to go about making sure my projects are under some sort
of license? I don't think this matters; but I host my projects on github.
Thank you.

Hi Christopher,
I just noticed that the license for some javascript related projects at
codehaus have changed to GPL2. Previously, I only saw Apache 2 licenses.
Here is an example below...
Can you please tell me if this is a mistake or if its real. If it is real what
is the rationale given that jquery itself is available on the MIT license and
allows redistribution.
Thanks for your help.
