Choosing an Open Source License

4 PM October 21, 2003

I’m in the middle of picking an Open Source License for some code that I once released commercially, but now wish to release more openly. The current favourites are the MIT License and the Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer, because they are simple, relatively liberal and include the all important legalese paragraph that says “don’t sue me”.

Are there other, similar licenses I should be looking at?
