| 00:59.29 | blast007 | heartnet: up to you to decide |
| 01:00.12 | blast007 | depends if you care what people do with your map or not |
| 01:00.32 | blast007 | if you don't care, then public domain, MIT, or BSD-style might fit better |
| 01:00.52 | heartnet | I see. So I can use any licenses which are used for software, right? |
| 01:01.04 | blast007 | shrugs |
| 01:01.17 | blast007 | I am not a licensing guru by any means ;) |
| 01:01.31 | blast007 | licensing confuses me quite profoundly, in fact |
| 01:03.09 | heartnet | Yeah it is so complicated and has a lot of fights...But I am not a GPL believer. |
| 01:04.21 | heartnet | Has anybody used GPL for a map file? |
| 01:06.27 | heartnet | I am going to release an object file in public and I am considering the license of it. |
| 01:07.41 | heartnet | I would like anybody to use my object into their map but I don't want to make it walk alone... |
| 01:08.40 | blast007 | you can't post it on our forum if that's your restriction then |
| 01:10.04 | heartnet | I might be too sensitive for it...So maybe I will use MIT license. |
| 01:10.59 | heartnet | just curious if somebody used GPL for a map file before. |
| 01:11.27 | blast007 | MIT basically means anyone can use it for anything |
| 01:12.02 | blast007 | you should read the licenses to figure out which one fits your requirements |
| 01:13.57 | heartnet | I am reading documents for these licenses. Hmm Creative Commons might be better for me. |

| 02:45.04 | heartnet | I've uploaded my object with Creative Commons License. |
| 03:07.16 | blast007 | technically the non-commercial variant is not LGPL compatible, nor is it a "free" license as defined by the FSF |
| 03:07.36 | blast007 | since it restricts who can use it |
| 03:19.10 | heartnet | I am recognizing that Creative Commons is the license to restrict a little. |
| 03:24.44 | heartnet | By the way, which license do you like the most? |

| 10:30.45 | blast007 | think I've released some graphics under CC-SA too |
| 10:30.49 | heartnet | I see. So you permit commercial use. |

| 10:36.39 | blast007 | BZFlag's license (LGPL) allows commercial use |
| 10:37.25 | heartnet | You are so generous. |
| 10:39.42 | heartnet | I might have chosen GPL, but I thought some people hate it and are not willing to use my object if I select GPL. |
| 10:40.34 | heartnet | It's a problem before commercial using. |
| 10:41.26 | blast007 | I used MIT for my software to encourage people to use it |
| 10:41.31 | blast007 | for whatever purpose they want |
| 10:42.00 | blast007 | at least for the stuff I'm writing now I don't really care if someone throws it into their commercial project and sells it |
| 10:42.18 | blast007 | (my project is a few small sites and a web framework) |
| 10:44.48 | heartnet | Compare to MIT License, CC seems to be more restrictive. |
| 10:45.03 | blast007 | yes, it is |
| 10:45.40 | heartnet | What do you think about BSD License? |
| 10:45.43 | blast007 | MIT is basically a "use it how you want, but don't blame me if your computer explodes and kills everyone" |
| 10:45.47 | blast007 | and BSD is similar |
| 10:46.12 | blast007 | there's also several variants of the BSD |
| 10:46.38 | heartnet | I am recognizing BSD License is less restrictive than MIT License. |
| 10:50.17 | heartnet | Hmm...I don't want to change the license when someone distributes my work. BSD License allows to do it. |
| 10:52.28 | heartnet | However MIT License and BSD License are both certainly well used. |
| 10:53.32 | blast007 | CC-BY-SA might be one option then |
| 10:54.23 | heartnet | I don't understand why so many people can be so generous :D |
| 10:55.39 | blast007 | the less restrictive the license, the more people that will use it (in general) |
| 10:55.57 | heartnet | It's true. |
| 10:56.43 | blast007 | mootools is MIT, jQuery is dual GPL and MIT, YUI is bsd, prototypejs is MIT |
| 10:56.56 | blast007 | and they're all hugely popular JavaScript libraries :) |
| 10:57.15 | blast007 | used by large companies and small personal sites, and everything in between |
| 10:59.12 | heartnet | I chose CC-BY-NC-SA for my bzw file which I've uploaded on forum. I allow someone to change the content and redistribute it, but I don't allow to sell or change its license. |
| 11:02.47 | heartnet | I also want less restricive license if I am a user of something. But if I am a creator of something, I might restrict a little... |
| 11:03.30 | heartnet | It's a difficult problem... |
