@icedquinn @phnt @a1ba @koakuma The artistic license version 1 is a proprietary software license.

Clarified Artistic and version 2 are fine, but those are pretty bad licenses.

You need a copyleft license if you don't wish to allow proprietary versions and the best choice is AGPLv3-or-later.

>just that its overly long winded for what it does do.
The GPLv3 targeted the minimum length of license that is required to deal with the current state of software - if a license is significantly shorter - then there are significant problems the license did not address.

The OSLv3 is a terrible license - it disallows normal development practices and sharing as it requires distributors to obtain explicit assent to the license or the license terminates and it is incompatible with all GPL versions.

It also is not that short either - it's ~1630 words.
