While trying to pick a licence for my project I came across the EUPL licence. I’ve never heard of it and I found it interesting that the EU had its own OSS licence.

What I like about it:

  • Quite explicit.
  • SaaS is considered distribution
  • The source code for distributions has to be made public
  • Available in multiple languages
  • Copyleft

Heve you used it in one (or more) of your projects?

What drawbacks do you see, why have you decided against using it?
