Licenses Template

Template repository where I store the licenses I use in most of my works.

Software Licenses

GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPL-3.0-or-later)

Copyleft license for free software.

GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0-or-later)

GPL-3.0 with more rules (the Big Tech hates this license).

GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 (LGPL-2.1-or-later)

GPL-3.0 with less rules. Good for UI libraries for example.

BSD 3-Clause Clear License (BSD-3-Clause-Clear)

Permisive license more detailed than MIT and more human-readable than APACHE.

Templates/boilerplates/studies

Do What The F*ck You Want To Public License (WTFPL)

Very permisive license. I like to use it on templates/boilerplates or in repositories purely focused in studying.
