Oss License Strategy
by samber98ed86da8babMIT2 starsListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026Repository updated 10 days ago
Chooses an open-source project's license and contribution policy as one decision - permissive vs weak, strong or network copyleft, dependency-driven compatibility constraints, DCO vs CLA vs nothing, dual licensing and open core, source-available options (BUSL, FSL, Elastic License, SSPL), and the fork risk of relicensing. Use whenever someone asks which license to pick, whether MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL or AGPL fits, whether to require a CLA or a DCO sign-off, how to relicense an existing project, whether AGPL really protects against cloud providers, or which LICENSE, SPDX and NOTICE files to ship - even if they only voice a legal worry. Not what the company open-sources at all - use samber/developer-relations-skills@open-source-company-strategy. Never legal advice.

Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
