My advice to newcomers: never open-source something you wouldn't be happy to see somebody else clone, rebrand, and resell.
If you want to open source cool things, open source the parts and components that will help other people build their own amazing apps with. Not full products.
It doesn’t really matter what license you pick, because the only people who will actually adhere to it are the bigger companies with legal advisors
@stroughtonsmith If this is still about GBA4iOS/Delta, then, sadly, there’s no way he could’ve used another license.
GPL is infectious by nature. Projects derivative of other GPL projects inherit their license.
Sometimes you don’t get to pick the license, so I guess it’s a matter of “picking your fights”, or designing software in a modular-enough fashion to keep some parts of it closed, if you really wanna be protective of it.
