Creative Commons

There are several flavors of the Creative Commons license.  I am going to look at the attribution and attribution share alike licenses.

Both licenses are very similar to the modified BSD license and are more explicit about what rights are conveyed by the license. Both require attribution to the author without endorsement from the author.

The share alike requires any derivative works be licensed with the same license or a compatible one.


For this project, I don’t see any advantage this gives me for the final product.  I hope to build and sell these programmers, but if someone else does for a decent price, I would still benefit.

I have to pick a license or make it public domain or someone else could license or patent it in a way that would restrict me or anybody else from building and selling it.

I am applying common design principals in this project. I do not believe there will be anything unique enough to patent.
