open source - Hosting a project on code.google with an Creative Commons licence -
i have project made under creative commons licence (attribution-noncommercial) upload code code.google.com since have other project living there.
when create new project asks me opensource licence want choose. choices available are:
- apache license 2.0
- artistic license/gpl
- eclipse public license 1.0
- gnu general public licence v2
- gnu general public licence v3
- gnu lesser general public license
- mit licence
- mozilla public license 1.1
- new bsd license
- "other open source"
when select "other open source" there link osi-approved licenses takes me list of licenses. (link text)
in these lists creative commons license not mentioned while, interestingly enough, content of website (www.opensource.org) seems licensed creative commons license.
my question this:
what license type should choose in code.google project in order "select" creative commons license (attribution-noncommercial)?
creative commons licences not used code. they're used other works, photos, music, documentation (hence use on opensource.org), etc.
there creative commons licences similar open source licenses, attribution-noncommercial not considered open source. in particular, noncomercial violates sections 1 and/or 6 of the open source definition:
free redistribution
the license shall not restrict party selling or giving away software component of aggregate software distribution containing programs several different sources. license shall not require royalty or other fee such sale.
no discrimination against fields of endeavor
the license must not restrict making use of program in specific field of endeavor. example, may not restrict program being used in business, or being used genetic research.
