What kind of effect are the new Creative Commons licenses going to have on open source software? I just released some code (which was just a little hack on Jon Udell’s code) under the attribution-share alike license. I’m bound to do so, since Jon released his code under that license.
How do the Creative Commons licenses interact with open source licenses such as the GPL, BSD, MIT, etc? I know that the creative commons licenses are more for content and creative stuff, but it’s just been applied to code. What are the consequences?
IANAL, (I am not a Lawyer for those people that end up here via google six months from now), so I don’t know, but I’d love to hear about it. I know that the Creative Commons licenses have all kinds of other implications, I just can’t think of them right now.
