Hi,
I was wondering what kind of license should be applied to patterndb patterns. GPL doesn't really apply as it is not software.
I was thinking about Creating Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, which:
* allows redistributions of the work with proper attribution * allows changes as long as the changes are available under the same license * allows commercial usage (e.g. free even for commercial entities)
Adding the "nc" e.g. non-commercial flag was considered and then dropped. We feel that most people trying to use patterndb would definitely use it in a commercial setting and we wouldn't like to limit our users to academia a private use.
What do you think?
For those interested : http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Personally i'm in favour of this license for patterndb patterns, and i'd have to agree that the "nc" component is absolutely out of the question. -- Daniel Maher <dma PLUS syslogng AT witbe DOT net>
