| For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk. Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active! I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |
Distributing via Open Source licenses

I want to distribute code that I have written under an Open Source license .... how do I go about this?Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 3 February 2004
There are many sample licenses at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/index.php and if you distribute your software under any of these licenses, you may say your software is OSI Certified Open Source Software. The Open Source Initiative (OSI) actually encourage the re-use of existing licenses, but if you do modify one or write your own, this page tells you where to go for official approval.Do note - if you're going to distrubute under an open source license, you're encouraged to read and understand the license you're using, and also to consult with a solicitor, beforehand.
The Mozilla Public License 1.1http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mozilla1.1.php looks like a good starting point as it tells you (in section 6.3) how you may re-use it for your own code.
