Licences

A project needs a licence before it is public. Two questions get you to one.

Do you mind other people selling your work?

I do not mind - anyone may sell it
I do mind - nobody may sell it

If someone changes it, must they share their changes?

Yes - changes must stay open
No - they may keep changes private

Answer both on the project settings page and it suggests one. You can ignore the suggestion and pick any of them.

What is on offer

The whole list.
LicenceIn plain words
GPL v3 or later
GPL-3.0-or-later
Anyone may sell it, but changes they share must stay open.
AGPL v3 or later
AGPL-3.0-or-later
Like GPL, and it also covers running it as a web service.
MIT
MIT
Do almost anything, including keeping changes private.
Apache 2.0
Apache-2.0
Like MIT, with a patent promise written in.
PolyForm Noncommercial
PolyForm-Noncommercial-1.0.0
Source is open, but nobody may sell it or use it in a business.
Business Source Licence 1.1
BUSL-1.1
Source is open, commercial use waits a few years, then it turns open.

The licence is shown on your project page, and the source it covers is there to read and download. That is the point of the whole site.
