Open Source License

Post by TRIDENT »

I would like you to vote about the license the program will have. As this is an open source project, we need to act legally and register the code before we publish it. We want to decide what license will we use.

There are some posibilities:
GNU General Public License
Just a free to edit/sell/etc license
or any other license we write.

Please post what you think here, it is very important to the project to know exactly the objectives and what we want to do.

I Prefer GNU General Public License, the reason is that we don't have another solution.
A free/sell... is not a license .
