What License Type - 04-28-2007, 03:02 AM

Hi
I need some help with what license type i should choose for my products. I want that the community should be able to help it develop but i don't want it to be open source.

I like Creative Commons the best.

Creative Commons doesn't really meet my requirements...

If you dont want it open source, then how can the community modify it if the source isnt open? :P

Well, you'll never know if someone tries to present it as his/hers work, anyway!
The best one to use would be GPL, according to me, although I accidentally clicked CC
My suggestion for you is to put something like
Code:
/*
This is my work, you may modify it but please keep this and blah blah blah
*/
Good luck, regards
Phil
