## Good License Choice
|
||||
|
||||
<a id="license-approved"></a>
|
||||
Obviously, code that's not under a license that is both
|
||||
[OSI approved](http://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical) and is not
|
||||
[approved by FSF as a Free Software license](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses)
|
||||
is completely useless to us.
|
||||
|
||||
<a id="gpl-compatible"></a>
|
||||
It would also be quite preferable if the code were under a
|
||||
[a license that FSF has determined is GPL-compatible](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses),
|
||||
so that code from GPL'd projects can be easily shared and GPL'd applications
|
||||
can be built on top of anything we build. Code not under a GPL-compatible
|
||||
license would face a high burden (i.e., the code would really have to be
|
||||
absolutely wonderful in all other respects) to dictate such a license choice.
