<p>
|
||
The <a href="licenses/mit">MIT License</a> is a permissive license that is short and to the point. It lets people do anything with your code with proper attribution and without warranty.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>jQuery</strong> and <strong>Rails</strong> use the MIT License.

|
||
<h3><a href="licenses/apache">I’m concerned about patents.</a></h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <a href="licenses/apache/">Apache License</a> is a permissive license similar to the MIT License, but it provides a patent license for any code that infringes on a contributor’s patents.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Apache</strong>, <strong>SVN</strong>, and <strong>NuGet</strong> use the Apache License.

|

<h3><a href="licenses/gpl.html">I care about reciprocity.</a></h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The GPL (<a href="licenses/gpl-v2">V2</a>, <a href="licenses/gpl-v3">V3</a>, or <a href="licenses/agpl">Affero</a>) requires that folks who modify your code also license their changes under the GPL. V3 is similar to V2, but adds a restriction restricting use in hardware that forbids software alterations.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Linux</strong> and <strong>Git</strong> use the GPL.
