I’ve recently completed enough work on jsCalcLib to feel like it’s good enough to release for public consumption. Perfect? No. Good enough? Absolutely. Wish I wouldn’t have had to write it in the first place, anyway.
So, now I’m in the position of selecting an open-source license for the code. I guess that the LGPL is the clubhouse leader, but I will enjoy looking over the alternatives.
Look for more information soon on a new SourceForge project!
Thanks, Nick. Thanks to both your comment and others, I’m going to go with the MIT license, which is pretty much the BSD license in a different form. It met all the conditions I had!
It’s largely arbitrary, but if you’re looking at the LGPL, you might also want to look at BSD – it’s clear, simple, and has tested legal precedent if I’m not mistaken.
I don’t really like *GPL — it’s just stupidly (overly) wordy in my opinion.
