[Freeswitch-users] Open Source unified autodialer software released

[Anthony Minessale]

LGPL or GPL are ok for your case, AGPL is a little scary.   It really
depends if you have intent to stop anyone from using it or not, if you
don't then just choose MIT or BSD which are both compat with GPL and less
restrictive.  Remember, GPL doesn't like BSD because it says you can do
anything you want (including sell it or distribute it) it's hard to
understand at first.  GPL wants code to be free like a birdy soaring in the
sky not free like it costs no money,  so they actually get mad at licenses
with no restrictions that are considered free as in contain no restrictions
so you have a large political battle over weather you want it to run free
in a field be free of rules or be free of charge........AGPL takes it a
step further and says if someone downloads your project and runs it on
their website as a service, that it will be violating the license unless
they provide the code to their entire infrastructure for everyone to look
at.  I don't know if that will go over too well for most business ppl.


In reality debating licenses over code written in plaintext scripting
languages makes me chuckle a bit, just the C snob in me I suppose.   Really
if you choose to write code in stuff like that you may as well expect
people to do whatever they want with it.

I don't even really like debating licenses at all, that's why we chose BSD
and MPL both the (free of restrictions) variety of license.  The only
obligation in MPL is to show changes to the guy who wrote the code you are
changing so he can see if it helps his own personal cause or not.
