From 83c39a345d4a2bd9adc805b2b095804327a7483f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Linksvayer Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2016 10:15:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] small link to appendix & improve for linking, guiding back to home page Based on feeedback from people looking for BSD licenses and wanting to use site as a reference. I'm not thrilled with any distraction from flow of choices that work for most on home page through spectrum covering range of open source licenses without redundant ones, but obviously some people prefer seeing everything in a table, so let them find it, accommodate use as reference and people whose learning style involes poring over a reference rather than being guided. --- appendix.md | 10 ++++++---- licenses.html | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/appendix.md b/appendix.md index f144b75..b961268 100644 --- a/appendix.md +++ b/appendix.md @@ -5,7 +5,9 @@ title: Appendix class: license-types --- -All licenses described in the choosealicense.com [repository](https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com), in a table. +For reference, all licenses described in the choosealicense.com [repository](https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com), in a table. + +If you're here to choose a license, **[start from the home page](/)** to see a few licenses that will work for most cases. {% assign types = "permissions|conditions|limitations" | split: "|" %} @@ -56,11 +58,11 @@ All licenses described in the choosealicense.com [repository](https://github.com ## Legend -
