What is 69 + 4? 69 Too Many Open Source Licenses
I believe in just a few licenses. I like GPL 2.0, BSD and MIT licenses. Creative Commons
is
such bullshit
that it makes
my hair hurtCreative Commons is such bullshit that it makes my hair hurt. You can’t frakkin’ Creative Commons License stuff!! That’s what Copyrights and Trademarks are for.
This is a quote from Bruce PerensW:
The Open Source initiative has, to date, approved 73 licenses. How many do you really need? If you’re a company or individual producing Open Source software, no more than 4. And you can get along with just 2 of them.
But the fact that there are 73 licenses is a problem. Many of those licenses are incompatible with each other. To understand the legal implications of mixing software under two of those licenses together in the same program, you’d have to learn 5256 different combinations!
