> If you are confused by the many licenses out there, you can also just pick CRAPL, a license invented by the inimitable Matt Might and specifically targeting academic settings.<p>The CRAPL is one of the worst licenses you can pick. (Note that the author's claim that it's open-source is a lie.) Literally any of the licenses on the page linked to by "confused by the many licenses out there" would be better than it is. That advice is like saying "if an orphanage is on fire and you can only make one trip inside, and it's hard to decide who to save, just save the pet hamster instead of any of the orphans."
