I generally use the ISC license these days. It is short, indemnifies me from damage caused by the software I write being used by other people, has a thin requirement that the copyright be carried forward into other projects using my code (A requirement that I'm probably not going to enforce), And that's it. No encumbrances against interoperation with other people's code.



Today I learned! I hadn't heard of the ISC license. I've heard of GPL, Apache, MIT, and other common ones, but not USC until now. Thanks!


The ISC is basically pretty similar to the MIT license.
