Licensing
I have written a plugin for the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ljarchive program. It's nearly finished and once I've ironed out the last bug, I'll be releasing it on my website. The base program is licensed under the zlib/libpng license but I'm not entirely sure about that as it does give permission to use the code for commercial purposes (not that it's likely that anyone would).
So I have a few questions. First, what license should/can I use for my code? Am I obliged to use the zlib one and I am referencing libraries from the original project in mine? http://www.opensource.org/licenses/ links to tonnes of them - too many to think about. And then how do I go about applying that - do I need to c & p the notice into the source code somewhere? Is a link in the source to a page on my website sufficent?
