Common open source licenses edit

see w:Comparison_of_free_software_licenses for a detailed list

Notes: The GPL is usually considered the most restrictive, meaning that any derivative works must also be open source. GLPL and BSD allow one to incorporate you code into a closed source for-profit program. A prominent example is the BSD licensed w:Webkit is used in the closed source w:Apple Safari.

example edit

{{EM software tool
|name=Bsoft
|website=http://lsbr.niams.nih.gov/bsoft/
|long description=Bsoft is a collection of programs and a platform for development of software for image and molecular processing in structural biology. Problems in structural biology are approached with a highly modular design, allowing fast development of new algorithms without the burden of issues such as file I/O. It provides an easily accessible interface, a resource that can be and has been used in other packages. Several workflows such as for single particle analysis and tomography are supported with parameter exchange as well as the ability to do distributed processing across heterogeneous clusters of computers. Several tools are available for modeling structures as atomic coordinates or larger scale models for the interpretation of large molecular complexes such as viruses and sub-cellular organelles.
