Read this<http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2008/05/standing-against-license-proliferation.html>. Here's a snippet:
"Two years later, we are nearing 100,000 projects hosted on Google Code. The trend around licensing is obvious: GPLv2/GPLv3 represent 42.6% of the projects, and Apache is 25.8%. MIT, BSD, and LGPL are at about 8% each, Artistic at 3.5%, and MPL 1.1 at a mere 2.7%. This follows my own observation about how people license their projects. If they are advocates of Free Software <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html>, they will choose GPL; advocates of Open Source <http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd> will choose Apache (a more modern and thorough permissive license, compared to BSD or MIT). And this is exactly what I recommend to people: *choose GPLv3 or Apache v2 based on your personal philosophy.*" On Thu, May 12, 2011 at 10:37 AM, David LeBer <[email protected]>wrote: > > On 2011-05-12, at 11:32 AM, Pascal Robert wrote: > > > > > Le 2011-05-12 à 11:29, Klaus Berkling a écrit : > > > >> I have a conference app that's nearly ready to make public as an example > app, I just have to remove some information specific to the conference it > was developed for. > >> It does events, sessions, invitations, email notifications, etc. > >> > >> Having not done this before, what's a good license to make it available > under? > > > > Depends of if you want contributions back or not.
