Re: [PLUG] software licenses

The creative commons folks have a lot to say about this, provide a

leaves them far more options than referring them to the GPL (which
is pretty restrictive on future users of the code and even on the
owner of the copyright).

Creative Commons has a nice little explanation of the GPL and the LGPL:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/LGPL/2.1/

Creative Commons doesn't recommend any of their other licenses for use with software.
