Examples given:\r\n\r\n- make a proprietary version\r\n- offer support\r\n\r\nFirst maybe could be addressed by noting explicitly which licenses allow proprietary derivatives, though that's a mouthful. Second there are no direct implications, but existence of question perhaps hints it would be useful to explain what a license covers and does not.\r\n\r\nOne approach would be a FAQ, but not sure such would be maintainable or in scope for site."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/github/choosealicense.com/issues/comments/217248098","html_url":"https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com/issues/381#issuecomment-217248098","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/github/choosealicense.com/issues/381","id":217248098,"user":{"login":"ShaneCurcuru","id":1765681,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1765681?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShaneCurcuru","html_url":"https://github.com/ShaneCurcuru","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShaneCurcuru/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShaneCurcuru/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShaneCurcuru/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShaneCurcuru/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShaneCurcuru/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShaneCurcuru/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShaneCurcuru/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShaneCurcuru/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ShaneCurcuru/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-05-05T19:12:48Z","updated_at":"2016-05-05T19:12:48Z","body":"These are both important questions, and there are probably a half-dozen other similar issues we could all come up with to help people choose.  \r\n\r\nRather than creating all the content here, perhaps a better solution is to provide the rough framework of questions to ask - like the existing bullet lists - and then provide pointers to existing organizations that work to provide that kind of education alread.  While there are different descriptions of \"Can I charge people for software under X\", I'm sure one from OSI or FSF as a link would be a sufficient resource."}}
