BiscuIT licence
Currently, BiscuIT and all official apps are licenced under the MIT licence.
There are reasons not to do so and instead choose a more restrictive licence. These reasons do include the wish to ensure that noone draws material benefits from modifications to the BiscuIT source code. Also, some contributors might want their work protected better than MIT guarantees.
The following aspects need to be ensured in any case and/or must be taken into account:
- Users of BiscuIT are mostly public and private schools
- BiscuIT is provided as SaaS by schools, cities, or private companies
- Contributors include minors (students) and minors must always be welcomed as contributors
- Third parties must be enabled to provide apps (modules) for BiscuIT
- Third parties must be enabled to provide operation or support for BiscuIT
I will propose some licences with some remarks. Please consider the aspects mentioned above and possible other aspects and comment pros and cons for the respective licences.
