GNU General Public License (GNU GPL)
GNU GPL is the most widely used license in the software world and allows to end users freedom to use, study, share (copy) and modify the software.
Its purpose is to declare that the software covered by this license is free software and protect it from attempts at appropriation.
Distribution rights granted by the GPL for modified versions of the work are not unconditional. When someone distributed under GPL adding to the work their own modifications, the requirements for the distribution of all of the work can not be greater than the requirements that are in the GPL. This requirement is known as copyleft.
I plan to share my final project trough this site. For my final project I have chosen this licens from the creative commons website: Creative Commons License
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
This license permits others to create and distribute derivative works, but only the same or a compatible liense. Also this license permits others to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work for non-commercial purposes only.
Plan for dissemination of the project
I'm going to share first prototype project as an Open Source non-commercial project, documenting every step for making a functional machine, free for anyone that wants to build one.
Future steps to make a commercially viable product would be to refine the design by joining a team of people that can work around the idea to make it better, with future intentions of make it go to market.
For the moment to communicate my project a good way is to promote it through specialized blogs, the Fab lab network, Make magazine, etc.
