It does not grant trademark rights.</p> <p>The patent grant makes Apache 2.0 preferable for projects with many contributors or corporate sponsors — it reduces the risk of patent lawsuits against downstream users. Apache 2.0 is not compatible with GPL-2.0, but is compatible with GPL-3.0 and later.</p>https://yourlicense.ca.dev.prosyon.ca/licenses/mit/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://yourlicense.ca.dev.prosyon.ca/licenses/mit/<p>The MIT License is one of the shortest and most permissive open-source licenses. It lets anyone use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and sell copies of the software, provided they include the original copyright notice and license text.</p> <p>It is a good default for libraries and frameworks you want adopted as widely as possible. If you care about protecting against patent claims from contributors, consider Apache-2.0 instead — the patent grant is the main difference.</p>
