Open Source Licenses Hey everyone, we want to publish our software at GitHub but as we have spend a lot of work and thoughts into it, I don't want to take anything like ZLIB, MIT, or any other "yeah we made the work but feel free to earn an ass of money with it"-kind of license. And as there is no software or service our code has to be used with, this might be a problem. We itend, as we are a small team and everyone also has a real-life calling frequently, that this could help getting more and foremost better contributors into our project for letting those people look at the complexity before they try to contribute to us. Also this will reduce server and administration costs for us to simply have people fork the code and make pull requests. I already digged through the mass of licenses at Creative Commons (don't apply to software very well) Free Software Foundation Open Source Initiative but they all have a drawback, commercial use is always allowed. I'm looking for a license that covers 3 points: Our intellectuel property and rights are protected and includes also the usuall disclaimer Everyone is allowed to use the software without commercial background Changes made can be reintegrated into our reposetory regardless of rights, porperty or patents of the contributor and we are allowed to sublicense (maybe for commercial use) our software including that changes without any drawbacks Does anyone know about such a license (I might have overseen on my research) or do we have to pick money in the end to get a license made from a lawyer? https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
