Hey guys. I'm writing a few programs that I want to put up on the web under an open source license. Basically they are teaching tools of college and highschool computer science professors (more at the collegiate level though). Basic demonstration software on neural networks and genetic algorithms and the like. Lots of graphs and analysis built in with customizable interfaces and test parameters and such! Anyways I wanted some advice as to which os license i should release the software and how to go about doing so! Thanks guys!!
You wouldn't imagine how many headaches you can get by releasing it under the wrong license. There are so many people that get pissed off if you copy their work even though they released it under the GPL (and did give them credit). You should read the licenses before you decide which one.
If your fine with people copying your work freely and modifying it in any way they want (of course they have to give credit) then you can just use GPL probably (it is what you could first look at).
Yea. I have no problem with people mucking with my stuff! lol. Trick is get rid of the comments before you post and code convoluted enough that they can't follow (complete sarcasm..don't worry). Honestly I just want to have a few small projects that can work with to help get my name out there. When a job asks what I've done I can point to my site with my work! If someone wants to work with it and make it better I'm ok with that. Ohh I know that there are lots of different ones with different aspects but I was just wondering if you guys had any in particular that you thought i should look at! (like the gpl I'll take a peek at that one..if I can understand it. lol. Thanks guys!
