Open Source Community License - Type F
Free TypeOpen Source Community License - Type F: Plain Text | RTF
This license is designed for freedom of the code above all else. Its the simplest of our licenes and provides the greatest liberties. It resembles a BSD-style license in that it allows individuals and companies to rerelease applications as closed source under this license. It provides the same freedoms as our Authors' Recursive License that appears embeded in some of our other licenses except that the freedoms provided are extended to the general public.
Some of this license's most notable features are:
-
Unrestricted Execution - All copies of the executable are free to be run for any legal purpose.
This essentially allows companies to run a program and make money off of it, as well as
individuals. This is also the same approach the gpl and BSD takes in its licenses.
-
Keep Attribution - You cant remove any copyright notices or references to the license when the source.
This prevents someone from redistributing the source and giving someone the impression it was
their own. Which in turn prevents the receiver from using the source code as if it didnt have any of these
restrictions due to ignorance of them. Both the Bsd license and the GPL, as well as most others, have this
requirement.
