Projects

Any production products posted on this blog are subject to the BSD Non-compete License. The only difference is the additional clauses apply if you plan to compete with the purpose of the project. The goal is open source but single community. Example, my API for WPF Localization. Anybody, commercial or otherwise, can still use the project to localize their own work as if it were the Simplified BSD License; however, while forking to contribute to the project is allowed, forking the project as your own project or using it for the purpose of competing as a localization solution is not allowed. The intent is to unify the work in one place and make stronger open source communities.
