# Choose a License Web Site
|
||||
|
||||
Like a Choose Your Own Adventure site, but only much less interesting.
|
||||
|
||||
# Intro
|
||||
|
||||
A lot of repositories on GitHub.com don't have a license. GitHub could slap on
|
||||
a license chooser, but if you don't know anything about licenses, how are you
|
||||
supposed to make an informed decision.
|
||||
|
||||
ChooseALicense.com is designed to help people make an informed decision about
|
||||
licenses.
|
||||
|
||||
# Immediate Goals
|
||||
|
||||
* Politics Free - Let's just not get into it.
|
||||
* Well designed, but that goes without saying.
|
||||
* The homepage should have just enough to help 99% of folks make a decision.
|
||||
* For the 1%, the site will contain a license chooser similar to
|
||||
the [creative commons license chooser](http://creativecommons.org/choose/)
|
||||
|
||||
# Design
|
||||
|
||||
I think v1 of the site could be a completely static JavaScript site. No need
|
||||
for a back end until we actually need it.
|
||||
|
||||
# Community
|
||||
|
||||
We plan to build out the skeleton of the site privately first, but then open
|
||||
it up to accept contributions.
|
||||
|
||||
Phil will look into whether various open source foundations and lawyers would
|
||||
be interested in being involved. Probably makes good sense to have a lawyer
|
||||
review the content before we post it live.
