Lately I've become more and more interested in the concept of Open Source and the kind of Open Source lincenses that exists (BSD, GNU, GPL etc) and what they offer. There is one called "Creatic Commons license" (CC). It offers "a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors and artists". Instead of making up my own terms everty time I release a new freebie ("this may be used for that but not for that etc") I should refer to a specific CC-license that is commonly kown and accepted and fits my needs. Check out the cartoons "Spectrum of licenses" and "how it works" - they explain it really well. http://creativecommons.org There is also a small wizard that helps you define the license type you need. This is for example what I will use: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ What do you think?
