Looking at getting into scripting for dosh; what license to use?
Last read Never
I've been looking at Open Source licenses such as GPLv3, GPLv2 and the MIT License. They (excluding the MIT license) allow anyone to copy, redistribute and resell the licensed object. Because the whole point of this site it so sell original scripts myself, what sort of license should I go with (or what is even allowed here)?
If you're going to sell scripts licenses come equipped in them by default. But no one is going to steal your work, people will try but they'll fail like always.
Here's the default one:

Yes, I am aware of this. Not sure why I wrote it that way; I was pressed against my schedule during the time I wrote this.
Edit:
