BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License
A permissive license that comes in two variants, the BSD 2-Clause and BSD 3-Clause. Both have very minute differences to the MIT license.
BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License
A permissive license similar to the BSD 2-Clause License, but with a 3rd clause that prohibits others from using the name of the copyright holder or its contributors to promote derived products without written consent.
Boost Software License 1.0
A simple permissive license only requiring preservation of copyright and license notices for source (and not binary) distribution. Licensed works, modifications, and larger works may be distributed under different terms and without source code.
Eclipse Public License 2.0
This commercially-friendly copyleft license provides the ability to commercially license binaries; a modern royalty-free patent license grant; and the ability for linked works to use other licenses, including commercial ones.
GNU Affero General Public License v3.0
Permissions of this strongest copyleft license are conditioned on making available complete source code of licensed works and modifications, which include larger works using a licensed work, under the same license. Copyright and license notices must be preserved. Contributors provide an express grant of patent rights. When a modified version is used to provide a service over a network, the complete source code of the modified version must be made available.
GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1
Primarily used for software libraries, the GNU LGPL requires that derived works be licensed under the same license, but works that only link to it do not fall under this restriction. There are two commonly used versions of the GNU LGPL.
About
Building a new developereconomy
Hybrid source software
Playbooks is a digital marketplace where developers can buy, sell, and exchange software seamlessly. Our platform offers an alternative to open source letting developers monetize their time and expertise. We call it hybrid source software.
Support independent developers
Developers are the unsung heros of the internet and your time should be respected the same as any other industry. That's why we're building a new economy for developers that celebrates your creativity while fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment.
An economy that works
At Playbooks we're building an open, transparent, and rewarding economy that works for everyone. That's why 70% of every sale goes to content creators (and their contributors) with another 10% dedicated to community projects via the bounty program.
