Why are you recommending these licenses?
Which other open source licenses are eligible for an OWASP project?
| Allow commercial uses of your work? | ||||
| Yes | No | |||
| Allow modifications of your work? | ||||
| Yes, no restriction except attribution | Yes, as long as modification are also opensource | No | ||
| ToolProject (Non-WebBased) |
Apache 2.0 (fewest restrictions, even allowing proprietary modifications and proprietary forks of your project, and more up-to-date than BSD license) |
GPL 3.0 (requires that modifications to your code stay open source, thus prohibiting proprietary forks of your project) |
Sorry, such licenses are not opensource and are not eligible to become an OWASP Sponsored Project. If this is really what you want, consider using CC-BY-ND or CC-BY-NC-ND. See http://creativecommons.org/choose for more information and note that they label these two license as "not a Free Culture License" | |
| Tool Project (WebBased) |
AGPL 3.0 (prevents GPL's SaaS loophole) |
|||
| Library Project | LGPL 3.0 (similar to GPL but modified for use with libraries that may be called by other proprietary programs) |
|||
| Document Project (includes E-Learning, presos, books, etc) | CC-BY 3.0 (like Apache but for documents) | CC-BY-SA 3.0 (like GPL but for documents. Alternately you can use GFDL, but projects like Debian and Ubuntu don't accept it) |
