Non Commercial GPL
Does anyone know if a BY-NC-SA version of the GPL exists? The closest thing I can find is the Creative Commons version ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ ). Unfortunately from what I read this is primarily intended for "works of art", not for software.
Thanks in advance.
- wmf 16y agoIt's hard enough to make money from GPL'ed software; a non-commercial variant seems redundant.
- Maskawanian 16y agoWell that isn't really the point. The point is so that those who want to use your software commercially would theoretically have to negotiate a different license with you. It may be self defeating in a way, but it would be nice to have the option.
