Topic: best open source licence?
Erich Schulz (Jun 16 2016 at 11:15):
is there thoughts on the best licence to use for open-source projects (assuming the author has no intention of making any money?)
Geoff Low (Jun 16 2016 at 11:51):
We use the MIT license here, it's the simplest and our legal department (who are very hot on this) seemed happy enough with it. Have you seen http://choosealicense.com/ ?
Erich Schulz (Jun 16 2016 at 11:53):
thanks @Geoff Low, MIT sounds the go
Pascal Pfiffner (Jun 16 2016 at 20:48):
We (at SMART) use APACHE 2 almost universally. Very similar to MIT license.
Grahame Grieve (Jun 16 2016 at 20:50):
FHIR uses creative commons 0, but this is not the best for code. For code, we use either Apache 2 or BSD 3
Grahame Grieve (Jun 16 2016 at 20:50):
I prefer BSD 3 because it's simpler. It's very similar to MIT in that regard, but I've seen BSD much more than MIT
