Developer-roadmap: Software licences

[dgncan]

I think every developer should have an idea about software licenses.
This subject should be added to the beginning of the list.

How do you no when your license is good.

[dgncan]

It depends on your project. For example, when you make a commercial project, you need to know if the lib you use allows it.

Thank you! Totally agree here, when doing an audit one of the first things I ask is for a list of software licenses. Far too often you have some obscure library using some random license that the creator wrote that says something outlandish like, "Must be used by friendly people..." and look from a legal perspective all of those libraries are junk and should be avoided.

If these common licenses are indicated on your Roadmap, this makes a useful reference.

One way to solve this would be linking to a site like https://choosealicense.com

There have been changes made to that section which makes this issue outdated. Thank you for reporting though 🙏
