Use GNU GPL as license#

Everything needs to be licensed, otherwise the default copyright laws apply. For instance, in Germany that means users may not alter anything without explicitly asking for permission. For more information see https://help.github.com/articles/licensing-a-repository/.

We want to have all source code related to Operate First to be used without any hassle and as free as possible, so that users can just execute and enjoy the four freedoms.

Considered Options#

Decision Outcome#

Chosen option: “GNU GPL”, because this license supports a strong copyleft model.
