You may also want to consider the **communities** you hope will use and contribute to your project:

* **Do you want your project to be used as a dependency by other projects?** Probably best to use the most popular license in your relevant community. For example, [MIT](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/) is the most popular license for [npm libraries](https://libraries.io/search?platforms=NPM).
* **Do you want your project to appeal to large businesses?** A large business may be comforted by an express patent license from all contributors. In this case, the [Apache 2.0](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/apache-2.0/) (and them) covered.
* **Do you want your project to appeal to large businesses?** A large business may be comforted by an express patent license from all contributors. In this case, the [Apache 2.0](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/apache-2.0/) has you (and them) covered.
* **Do you want your project to appeal to contributors who do not want their contributions to be used in closed source software?** [GPLv3](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/gpl-3.0/) or (if they also do not wish to contribute to closed source services) [AGPLv3](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/agpl-3.0/) will go over well.

Your **company** may have policies for open source project licensing. Some companies require your projects to bear a permissive license to permit integration with the company's proprietary products. Other policies enforce a strong copyleft license and an additional contributor agreement ([see below](#does-my-project-need-an-additional-contributor-agreement)) so only your company can use the project in closed source software. Organizations may also have certain standards, social responsibility goals, or transparency needs which could require a particular licensing strategy. Talk to your [company's legal department](#what-does-my-companys-legal-team-need-to-know) for guidance.
