| Feb 13, 2012 at 15:03 | comment | added | Dipan Mehta | Instead of asking "tell me everything about licensing" - tell us what you want to do? Do you want to create license for your own code or use someone else? Do you want to do or allow others for commercial usage or do you want to prohibit (or worried about prohibition applicable upon you?) | |
