Software License
I'm a mentor and thought that I would set up a subversion (version control software) system at sourceforge or possibly google. However one of the first questions you get asked at these free software supporting sites is what license is the software.
Of course being a programmer this is something that I take seriously as the license is what allows you to use the software in the first place. Normally when you are given software you do not become the owner, just the user. Same as a book's text. The right to copy the software still belongs to the copyright holder. The only exception to this is public domain.
I've looked in the default code and don't see any mention of a license at all, or who the original author was.
So what license is this software? Is it public domain?
