Write/Speak/Code | Open Source Licenses
The document discusses open source licenses, noting that they allow software to be freely used, modified, and shared. It lists some common open source licenses like the Public Domain, FreeBSD/MIT, GNU GPL, and Mozilla MPL licenses. For each license, it highlights considerations like whether derivatives must be shared (copyleft), if others can make money from the software (commercial), and whether improvements must be shared (reciprocity). It recommends including the license name in the project README and the full text in a LICENSE file.
