Figure out what is the correct License to use for this repo #1
Comments
I like the Creative Commons set of licenses for content-heavy stuff; unless there's a cooperative-specific content-focused license. |
I've seen other coops and coop-adjacent entities use the Peer Production License, which seems to be a version of a Creative Commons license that allows free reuse to other commons-based / cooperative enterprises. I think the Peer Production License feels like a good fit, unless we want to be extra-generous and allow re-use by commercial, non-commons-based entities. Thoughts? |
tagging @colombene in case she has an opinion about this license issue |
I don't have an opinion and don't know enough about those licenses yet. |
The Peer Production License looks like a great license for this particular repository! Thank you @anaulin! |
Per discussion in #1; The Peer Production License is more inline with our values of building things in a non-extractive manner, by placing constraints such that only people and mutual aid or mutual benefit organizations can leverage the content without acquiring a license.
As a placeholder, I added the Prosperity License to this repo, following the example of what we have for Convene.
Given that this repo is content-only, and stored in Wiki format, a different License might be more appropriate. Maybe that's a P2P license, or a CC one?
@zspencer I get the sense you've spent some time thinking about Licenses for Zinc's work. Can you advise?
