Blog Post: Open source licenses

Blog Post

Suggestion from Aaron Clark about different licenses you can choose when publishing content to GitHub. For example, differences between MIT vs GPL licenses.

Love it! Is Aaron Clark going to write it??!!

He's not, but he did offer to help with a blog post about the outcomes of R Validation Hub's Developer Day. It's at the end of March.

For this post, I spoke to Joanna (Appsilon) and she's helping out with planning a webinar that could be in collaboration with Posit about the licenses and other open source best practices. I'll lift content from the webinar for this blog post.

Aaron mentioned similar idea to me recently and I was just about to make an issue for this and then found it here already 🙌

It would be great to get Phil or someone from Posit to help here with this one.

It'd be great if it could reference around the common misunderstandings around when you use copyleft dependencies whether your package also needs to then use copyleft license - see discussion at pharmaverse/pharmaverse#359

I thought this was short, sweet and informative! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/veerlevanleemput_r-rstats-rprogramming-activity-7295068034866503681-EjYq?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAABXuvBEBrrioyos-URa4XY_uu6sTrsoICYk
