i am searching for the correct license for my software project on GitHub. I use only the FREE GitHub-Repository, so it has to be an OpenSource-License (which is okay for me). I really like Creative Commons licenses because they are simple to understand - but they aren't suitable for software..
so in creative commons terms i search a license with:
Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).
Noncommercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes.
Share Alike — If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one.
For myself i want to keep the right to use my software commercially (even if i don't intend that currently).
Additionally i want to give the graphics in my software project an own license - here i can use the CC BY-NC-SA, right? How can i manage that correctly in GitHub? Can i upload the images in the (FREE) github repository too, with that license in that special folder or do i have to take an external source for it? (because it doesn't match GitHubs requirements for free repositories)
A short summary of my questions:
- Which is a 'CC BY-NC-SA' like open source license i can use in my free GitHub repository?
- Can i use 'CC BY-NC-SA' license for my graphics/images in my repository?
- Which is the best way to combine these two things in a free GitHub repository?
