Hello everyone.
I’m developing an open-source visual novel engine. And I’m struggling to choose between the two licenses: MIT and BSD 3-Clause. I wasn’t much about licenses until this moment, so I have to ask someone else. Which one should I pick and why, if someone knows?
Thank you in advance.
Or from the other side, GPL would guarantee that you yourself (and your project’s contributors) would still have access even if a good fork emerges.
Things happen over years or decades.
Do you mean that without GPL my access to my own project can vanish?
Your access to a popular and commercial fork might be non-existent. You would maybe not even mind that they’re selling your code - possibly just wanting to tune it a bit, since you know how it used to work. But the fork can decide they’re proprietary and they won’t give you any source code.
Aah, okay then. Well, it does make sense indeed.
