I'm rebuilding an app that I made few years ago to make it open-source and free from big company dependencies (for example replacing Firebase with Appwrite)... Now, since it's already live on Codeberg, I think it would be good to give it a license but I'm super new to FOSS licenses and so I don't know how to move... Which one would you suggest me?

  • This page has existed long before GitHub was owned by Microsoft, so that's not really a meaningful claim
  • My reading of the patent stuff is that the licenses that mention them disallow the authors from patenting the software, but I agree that that's not super clear from the page itself
  • Permissive is the established term for such a license, I don't know what else you'd call it that isn't offensive
