All projects funded by the NXTfund, needs to be open source. unless community objects, I want all NXTfund projects to have a license that does NOT allow usage outside of NXT and NXT testnet. It is one thing to publish source and allow testing. Another to let FC just steal it.

If you are going this route, it might be a good idea to figure out what open licences are compatible with a usage restriction. A usage restriction is GPL-incompatible (section 6 of GPLv2, section 10 of GPLv3). Don't know about the other OSI licences.

I am not a lawyer. Need a lawyer to figure out how to make it so we can prevent klones that blatantly ripoff NXT community's hard work.
For graphics, text we write, etc., it should be easy to put copyright and that automatically limits theft.

10000 NXT BOUNTY OFFER:

legal clause that allows us to properly limit clones stealing NXT code, while still keeping us in compliance with the open source licenses we use.

Maybe if jean-luc would release the refactored core under a no-clone license, it would solve this?

Any lawyers out there?

What license is the code being released under now?
