Line 24:
:This differs from the others in that there are several variants of the license, each of which has its own specific stipulations. Developers can choose whether or not to restrict distribution, derivative use, commercial use, or any or none of those; the only requirement all six versions have in common is that the author get attribution for the original code. This is an increasingly popular alternative to the GPL, as it is considerably simpler but also considered less 'sticky'.
 
[[wikipedia:Public_Domain|Simple Public Domain]]:
:Copyright is waived, and no restrictions are placed on use, modification, or redistribution. In some countrys public domain is not possible, even if the publisher don't live in such a country. Please use the [https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ Creative Commons Zero] (CC0) if you want to give yor OS in public domain, because there is a fallback clause if it don't work, that allows everything.
