From Creative Commons
“We recommend against using Creative Commons licenses for software.
Instead, we strongly encourage you to use one of the very good software
licenses which are already available. We recommend considering licenses made
available by the Free Software Foundation or listed as “open source” by
the Open Source Initiative.”

(think “free speech” not “free beer”)

• open = freedom to: View the source code Modify the software in any way Run the software for any purposeDistribute the software and any modifications
• Software development model

“Which path is right for you? It depends on your objective. Educational
content is meant to be shared and an All Rights Reserved license is going to
reduce your reach. If you need to retain full control over your content in the
hopes of getting paid, that’s OK. But don’t pin this to false hope. You’re not
going to get paid unless you’ve built up sufficient authority. The more you
restrict your content, the more you reduce your chances of building authority.”

Use the least restrictive license that you can –
so that the next user of your work has more
options. “ Open License Training” by Amy Hofer, Open Oregon is licensed under CC BY 4.0
