From closed source to open source
What does it take, to publish a closed source project as open source community tool?
If you are developing a new code, or add a feature to an existing one, it often starts as having a project that is just available to your research group. But nearly always, your code can also be useful for other researchers. But getting from a closed source project to an open source project is sometimes hard, and not done with publishing the code on GitHub.
Some of us might have already worked on open source projects, or started them. Others might want to publish there results, but haven't yet. I want to discuss these experiences and exchange tips and tricks.
I'd suggest to use this as a whiteboard to gather ideas :)
*Open source licenses [A/L]GPL/MIT/Apache etc their differences, why bother, what are the caveats.
*Creative Commons licenses which one to choose and why they are different from source code licenses
