Open Source License Chooser

An open source license chooser that uses a humorous and easy-to-understand guide to help users find the perfect license for their project.

Introduction

This web-based tool helps users choose the appropriate open-source license for their software projects. It simplifies the complex process of license selection by presenting a series of questions about the user's intentions, such as whether they want others to make money from their code, modify it, or if they are concerned about patent trolls. Based on the answers, the tool recommends suitable licenses like MIT, Apache 2.0, GNU GPL-3.0, BSD 3-Clause, and others, explaining each in a fun and easy-to-understand manner. The tool also provides details on the pros and cons of each license, usage counts, and example projects using them. It targets software developers, project managers, and anyone looking to open-source their code but unsure which license to use.
