This project provides a set of reference tools and guides designed to help developers select and compare legal licenses for software and content. It includes an open source license selector and a compliance guide that explains copyright and the legal implications of publishing code without a license.
The resource includes a legal license comparison tool for evaluating permissions, conditions, and limitations, as well as a directory for non-software licenses applicable to datasets, media, fonts, and hardware designs. It also provides a multi-license compatibility reference to manage mixed licensing across project components.
The platform covers license selection, term comparison, and community alignment to ensure project licensing matches specific ecosystem requirements and asset types.
