Hello,
I wrote web application for my wife's lab. Recently she
showed it to several colleagues at a conference, and now
three different universities want to buy it. Since this
is the first time I'm selling software, I have two
questions, and my search on the web hasn't shed any
light, so I thought I should ask here.
First, is it okay to sell the software? I used BRL
http://sourceforge.net/projects/brl/ which has a GNU GPL
license. I don't rely heavily on BRL, and it wouldn't
be hard to switch to other library that doesn't have a
GPL license, but I would rather keep the software
unchanged.
Second, where do I find _easy-to-understand_ information
on licenses to check which one to use for the software. I
want to give them the source code (so they can have an
undergrad make changes if they need), but I wouldn't want
them to be able to redistribute it.
Thanks!
