About License Generator

An open-source license defines what others may legally do with your code: copy it, modify it, redistribute it, or use it commercially. Permissive licenses such as MIT and Apache-2.0 impose minimal conditions on reuse, while copyleft licenses like GPL-3.0 require derivative works to be released under the same license terms.

Pick a permissive license for libraries and developer tools you want widely adopted, and a copyleft license when you want improvements to be shared back with the community. Keep in mind that a license is very hard to revoke once a release is published — every copy already distributed keeps its rights — so choose before your first public release.
