What license would you suggest? After some reading at [1] and [2] and
[3], I found that the Academic Free License (version 2.1) and the
Apache License (version 2.0) are considered helpful for contributions
to the Python Software Foundation.
So far, I haven't used either of these licenses for my own code, and
after a little reading the AFL seems okay for me. I would perhaps
consider the LGPL [4] as an alternative because it is less restrictive
than the GPL.
Thoughts or links, anybody?
Cheers,
Johann
