(Posts: 18 | Archived: June 26, 2004)
Licensing is a tricky issue for professional software development. What kinds of software can you use from third parties and what kinds of attached strings are you willing to accept? What kind of a license can or should you release under? What kinds of licenses are appropriate to academic publication? Do you have a situation where the available open source licenses don't make sense? Post your questions, your opinions, and your experiences (good and bad) here so the community can share in the discussion.
