Re: [Sheflug] how to release something under the GPL

["Chris J" <cej [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A little addenum as well ...

I found this:
	http://zooko.com/license_quick_ref.html

which shows the main licenses (BSD, GPL, LGPL, MPL) in a quick chart showing
the main differences. This links to another page where you can "bias" the
results (e.g., if must share source is a bad thing, then you can set this,
then update the chart to show the results, for instance).

One thing it hasn't got is public domain - where you just release the code
and disclaim all responsibility for it, and let anyone do what they want
with it, no restrictions.

There may be other comparisons - more in depth that cover other differences
as well; this is just FYI.
