Hello, my name is Daniel MD.
I find myself in need of counseling, in the matter's of software licensing,
i would like to know if there is a comparative map of the approved
licenses, if not i would like if someone form this list to council me in
the following issues.
I have developed a software program and corresponding documentation, (man
page, user guide, developer guide).
I wish to release the program to the world, make it open source, everything
is modifiable program and documentation, but other developer's have to
report the modifications to me (the founding member) by sending me a copy
of the modified program or/and application/documentation (this includes a
book copy)for free, i do not need to approve the modifications, they (other
developers) can do what they want with the program and documentation,
modify it and sell it if they wish to do so, or create a book with the
documentation and sell that if they wish to do so, the only requirements is
that the modifications contain a URL (pointing to the development members
names web page), a email address (pointing to the original program mailing
list), and that the developers join themselves to the web page and mailing
list, (users are not obliged to sign in, only developers).
I would like to know which already created license approaches closer to my
needs.
I would also like to know, other resources dealing with the matters of
software licenses, book's web pages, free attorney advisory/counseling, any
further resources would be very useful and appreciated.
Thank you for your time, and have a nice day.
Daniel MD.
