What's the most widely used license type when it comes to OSS software?
- prophesi 5y agoMIT and Apache 2.0, I think. They're both very permissive. You can both use the software as a library or create derivative works without needing to open your source or change your licensing. IANAL, though.
- omoikane 5y agoMIT, according to this old github blog: https://github.blog/2015-03-09-open-source-license-usage-on-github-com/ https://github.blog/2015-03-09-open-source-license-usage-on-... Might be because https://choosealicense.com/ https://choosealicense.com/ recommends MIT license.
