What are the licensing options for my Python package?

What are the licensing options for my Python package?

You have several options for licensing your Python package, including MIT, GPL, and Apache licenses. Each has its own terms.

Can you explain the differences between MIT and GPL licenses?

Sure! The MIT license is permissive, allowing users to do almost anything with your code, while the GPL requires derivative works to also be open source.

Which license is better for commercial use?

For commercial use, the MIT license is often preferred due to its permissive nature, allowing for easier integration into proprietary software.

Are there any restrictions I should be aware of with the GPL?

Yes, the GPL requires that any distributed derivative works also be licensed under the GPL, which can limit commercial use.

How do I choose the right license for my project?

Consider your goals for the project, whether you want to allow commercial use, and how you want others to use your code.
