Intentions for Open Source licensing:
- to foster innovation to happen elsewhere
- to avoid lock-in and monopolization
- to credit individual contributors
- to encourage longevity and resilience
- to establish a moderate truck number and collective ownership
- to contribute to the gift-economy
- to operate out of abundance rather than scarcity
Based on the considerations:
- Table 5.1.: A summary of licenses
- Choosing a licence
- Supplementing the License--Contributor Agreements
- Getting Approval as an Individual
The Sun Community Source License, supplemented with specifics about individually owned authorship, seems the most appropriate license for us to use at this moment.
