Yesterday I wrote about Git connecting to GitHub, which involves GitHub, and GitHub, as an open source community, involves the issue of licenses. Of course, most people in the country still don't care about this. Because in China, the presence or absence of these things has little effect.
Mainly these three licenses GPL3.0, Apache LICENSE 2.0 and MIT LICENSE.
First of all, let's introduce the first two, because they have the same meaning.
GPL3.0 is called GNU General Public License 3.0, Apache LICENSE 2.0 is Apache License 2.0
A summary of the two is as follows:
- The software can be used casually, but cannot be modified casually. For example, the original trademark is generally not allowed to be modified. If you modify a certain place, you must give a prominent notice.
- Can be free, can be charged.
- This license document must be present in the source files of the software;
- I don't provide this software to break the law, you use it to break the law, that has nothing to do with me;
- If you commit a crime with this software, the responsibility is entirely your own, not the other contributors.
Introducing MIT LICENSE again
MIT LICENSE is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology License
The summary is as follows:
A summary of the MIT license is as follows
- The software can be used and changed at will.
- Can be free, can be charged.
- This license document must be present in the source files of the software;
- I don't provide this software to break the law, you use it to break the law, that has nothing to do with me;
- If you commit a crime with this software, the responsibility is entirely your own, not the other contributors.
Summarize:
If you want complete licensing then use MIT LICENSE
If you want to see other people's modifications to the source code then use Apache LICENSE or GPL
I usually use MIT LICENSE
The above is purely personal understanding, if there is any inappropriate, please point out.
