- by coderex
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.
