Hello,
Hey I've got a blog engine and website content management system that I'd like to give away to folks for their personal use. My product is not distributed as source code -- it is distributed as an executable file (DLL) and other user-alterable files such as configuration file, style sheets, and content files.
CC by-nc-sa 2.5 seems perfect. It appears that this license will let folks...
DO THIS:
* alter default sytlesheets
* alter default template files
* alter default configuration files
* add images
* add content
* create and manage a website for themselves or others for non-commercial use
BUT NOT DO THIS:
* create a website for a client then charge them for it
My two questions:
(1) Could folks comment on my current understanding of said license terms?
(2) Can I exempt the DLL from the license? Meaning, I do not want my product's DLL altered (because then, well, it's really not my product is it?) If I need an exemption, what would it look like?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
