Ask HN: Which licence should I use for my code?

2 pointsby Exorustalmost 6 years ago
So, working with university professors, I wish to open source the project, but I am unsure of which license to use. MIT or Apache or GNU?<p>Any advice would seriously help.

If you’re publishing on behalf of the university then you should run it by their legal department.<p>I work for a Danish municipality and we use all three licenses. We’re moving most things from MIT to Apache because we were adviced it was safer, and we only really slap GNU on things where we absolutely don’t want it showing up on the market.
