Many developers may believe in releasing their software freely, but they've hesitated because licensing issues are complicated, and their managers are afraid of losing control of the software.
This concise guide clears up the confusion over open source and free software licenses, and shows developers how to use them effectively. The book focuses on annotated licenses, and readers will find an in-depth explanation of how they compare and interoperate, and how license choices affect project possibilities. Any software developer (not just members of the open source community) can read this book to discover what an open source software license actually is and how to draft one for their own use.
