This is a VERY ROUGH take on the landing page. The basic idea is we want to present 3 licenses on the home page and just enough info for people to choose one of the three. But we'll provide links for folks who need to dig deeper and choose a license that better fits their needs. The design right now is blatantly stolen from KOD. But that's just to make the early draft look pretty. That's not the intended final design.

So you want to choose an OSS license.
|
|
<strong>Now what?</strong>
|
|
</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>This doesn't need to be scary.</strong>
|
|
We compiled a list of three licenses that address what most projects need.
|
|
You can pick on of these and be on your way, or click the links to dig deeper
|
|
into picking a license that meets your unique needs.

<a href="#mit">The MIT license</a> is a permissive license that is short and to the point.
|
|
It lets people do anything with your code with two main stipulations:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>- Include proper attribution</li>
|
|
<li>- The code is provided without warranty of any kind</li>
|

<a href="#mit">The 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.

<h3 class="big-intro-link">You care about reciprocity</h3>

<p>
|
|
The GPL (<a href="#v2">v2</a> or <a href="#v3">v3</a>) requires that folks who modify your
|
|
code also license their changes under the GPL. V3 is similar to v2, but adds a restriction
|
|
that doesn’st allow using the software in hardware that doesn’t allow modifying
|
|
the software.
