Looking for an alternative to
Open-source licenses
- Permissive: 2. Use it anywhere, including in closed products. You keep the copyright notice; Apache-2.0 also grants patent rights.
- Network copyleft: 1. Like GPL, and running a changed version as a web service counts as distributing it, so its users get the source too.
Languages
Python 1, JavaScript 1 and Elixir 1.
