How do I choose an open source license?
An example of an AI chatbot conversation about selecting an open source license.
I'm starting a new software project. How do I choose an open source license?
Choosing an open source license depends on how you want others to use your software. Do you want to allow modifications, commercial use, or require attribution?
I want people to be able to modify it but not use it commercially.
In that case, you might consider the GNU General Public License (GPL) or the Creative Commons Non-Commercial license. Both allow modifications but restrict commercial use.
What are the main differences between GPL and Creative Commons?
The GPL is specifically for software and requires derivative works to also be open source, while Creative Commons is more general and can apply to various types of creative works.
Can I change the license later if I want to?
Yes, you can change the license later, but it can be complicated, especially if others have already used your software under the original license.
