MIT License

The MIT License is extremely loose in terms of what it prohibits. It states, more or less:

• All original code was written by me
• There is no warranty of any sort
• There are no restrictions regarding commercial or non-commercial activity
• The author does not endorse any use of the software, and no claims shall be made as such
• You must include the New BSD license with any redistributions/modifications to label the original code
• You can fork the project or use it as you see fit with no requirements in terms of permission

The last clause is why I ask users to please drop me a line as to what sort of stuff they're doing with the software. I'd love to see my software used, it's one of the drives of the free software publishers. It'd be gratifying to know that I didn't just write this for the sake of writing it...

Creative Commons License

All Epiphanic Networks documentation as listed upon this Wiki is released under the Creative Commons 2.0 License link∞. The Creative Commons license provides the protection I require while at the same time being rather simple and easy to understand.

The qualities of the Creative Commons follow:

• You must attribute content to the original author
• All content is noncommercial (following a caveat listed below)
• Any derivitive work must be licensed in a similar manner
• The Creative Commons license does not hinder fair use
• The author(s) may waive any of the conditions above - that means that I can use my documents for commercial purposes as I see fit.

Since this is documentation on an open source project, selling them would be rather rediculous. I licensed them under the CC2 license because it's simple, powerful and does what I want.
