Licensing process for open source software?

Question

open source

I wanted to put some of my developments in free access, for example, under the LGPL. And make a couple of sites with documentation for this. But after reading on this topic, I came to the conclusion that not everything is so simple, and there are even a bunch of organizations (such as SPI or SFC ) that are involved in protecting open source developments. And I was wondering if anyone can share their experience. What is the protection of their rights as authors for some kind of software? I ask all this in the context of the absence of any large and medium finances.

Answer 1

The essence of the GPL and LGPL is that they do not protect the author from malicious consumers, but consumers from the evil author. It is enough to publish them in such a way that the authorship, in which case, is indisputable (print the texts and send them by mail, for example). They mainly protect users from patent raids, the author usually does not face anything (well, except for a criminal offense, if he wrote something wrong).
