Well, there are many open-source licenses that are much less evil
than the GPL. Consider the mozilla public license, MIT license, the
apache public license, or any of the many in existence. The problem
with the GPL is that it spreads itself (it's a cancer-like license)
and forces developers to license their code under the GPL if they
want to, say, embed (and thus distribute) your 3d framework within a
game or app bundle. The GPL gets developers involved with all kinds
of legalese and with what is considered a derivative work, which is a
headache that many of us simply would rather avoid. There are a
number of very good and unrestrictive licenses listed on this page:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical
I was considering going with either the MIT or the 3 clause BSD
license, but I think the MIT license is best. I absolutely do not
want O3D to be under a viral license. Also, what should I do as far
as touching up the copyright notice and author at the beginning of
each file? Should I copy the license into each file or is once in a
readme enough? I know quite a bit less than I should about licensing,
so all help is appreciated :)
I have doxygen set up as well, do I need to include anything special
in the documentation (like s/program/documentation/g the doxygen
version) or should I just stick the license in the long file
description?
