Hi friends,
I am a web developer, and i don't have enough knowledge in software licenses. I wish to publish some of my works. and i need to apply a licenses for that. My software/product is free of cost.
But I have some restrictions on the distribution/Modification.
- Its free of cost.(but donations are acceptable ;-))
- Source Code is freely available; that you can use, customize or edit/remove(but don't deviate the basic nature of the software).
- You don't have any permission to change the product name.
- There are some lib or class are and which is put into a folder caller "myname", you don't have the permission to rename "myname".
- You can contribute any additions modifications to my project, to the original source repository. (The contributors name/email/site link will be listed on the credit file).
- Don't remove the original author's name from the license.
- Put the license file or license code any where is in the project file or folder.
You can redistribute this code as free or commercial.
:)
What you this, all these kinda restrictions are valid or ... ? For this, which license i want to use.
