[erlang-questions] Open source licenses, which one to choose

[Alpár Jüttner]

You may also want to consider using the Boost license
(http://boost.org/users/license.html ).

It is essentially the same as the BSD license, but the Boost people
asked for help from the Berkman Cernter for Internet & Sociely at
Harvard Law School to create it. The result is a simple to read and
understand license that represents good legal practice in every sense.

Alpar
