Which license am I looking for?
I have a small software project which I intend to release soon.
I have already looked at several free (or, in some cases, claimed to
be free) licenses, but I have not found one which I found convincing.
What I am looking for:
- Copyleft with source requirement, but should not contaminate other
software.
- No additional burden on anyone. In particular no requirements for
derivatives to advertize, to not advertize, to follow some naming
convention, or to convey source code at runtime.
- No distinction between programs, libraries, images, scripts,
documentation, or whatever.
Formulations should equally apply to all sorts of software.
The only distinction should be source vs. non-source.
- Oh, and of course it should be DFSG-free.
Also, I am very sceptical about patent retaliation clauses.
I apologize for this question being off-topic until someone packages
my software for Debian. If there is a better place to get an answer,
please tell me.
Best regards,
Mark Weyer
