Hey there.
Im working on a project for some software I want in the world. But I’m such a hobbyist that I’ve never thought of publishing any of my projects, but after doing so much work in it I kind of want other to have access to it after I feel its ready.
Whats the process of distribution? I guess I typically use github when interacting with FOSS community, but its still confusing for me to navigate as an end user sometimes, let alone being an uploader.
FWIW its simply a few python modules and other supporting txt and jsons. Targeting mostly Windows because that’s what I use.
Thanks! (If this isn’t the right place to ask please let me know!)
If you find a piece of code in a forum without any license text, and you use it in your software, you could be in a lot of trouble, and not just because the code might be bad. Code without a license is NOT open source, nor public domain, nor free to use, https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/1721. It needs to have a license that explicitly allows use, modification, redistribution, only then it is open source. You may have seen some “openwashing”, someone trying to redefine the term to make them look good
