Open-source Licensing 101 - alavi.me (alavi.me)

The basics about types of open-source software licenses, their differences, how to choose a license etc.

I see a lot of programmers that really don't know much about licensing and just default to MIT.
To be fair to them, it's a pretty boring and headache enducing topic, but I tried to distill it here.

Hope it helps.

A lot of people, even developers still think "open source is open source" and don't know about FOSS and Copyleft. I think this sheds some light on the differences.
