</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Monaco, Courier New"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>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.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
