When you, as the licensor (hereafter “you” for short), release your own software program under a free/open source software license, the following common conditions apply:
(1)that you will provide the source code of the program;
(2)that you grant users the rights to use, reproduce, distribute and modify the program;
(3)that you grant those rights without license fee;
(4)that there is no specific licensee;
(5)that the rights are granted worldwide;
(6)that the license is non-exclusive, therefore you can still have different licenses with different parties;
(7)that the license does not come with any guarantee or warranty and this exempts you from unnecessary legal responsibilities.
(8)that your program can be sold commercially.

We have picked up a number of the most popular licenses on which we have conducted an in-depth research. Note this does not cover every kind of license and every kind of need.
