Subject: [License-discuss] FAQ entry (and potential website page?) on "why standard licenses"? <br><br><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi, all-<br><br>A few of us were talking and realized the FAQ/website have nothing to explain why *using standard licenses* is a good idea. This being a sort of basic point, I started remedying the problem :) <br>
<br>Draft FAQ entry addressing the question is here: <a href="http://wiki.opensource.org/bin/Projects/Why+standardized+licensing%3F" target="_blank">http://wiki.opensource.org/bin/Projects/Why+standardized+licensing%3F</a><br>
<br></div>There is also an incomplete potential more-than-FAQ answer that could be put somewhere on <a href="http://opensource.org" target="_blank">opensource.org</a>. The more I think about it, the more I think the FAQ may be sufficient, but I'd be curious what others here think and whether something longer is worthwhile.<br>
<br></div>Feedback is probably better on-wiki but the list is fine too. :)<br><div>Luis<br></div></div>
