Open Source Code and Basic4Android

[tomb]

I have a contract to develop some Android .apks and I'm using Basic4Android as the development platform/language. I wish to specify in the contract that application is open source in the MIT or GNU sense. What is the Basic4Android position on this?

Best,
Tom B

The code you write with Basic4android is yours. You can license it in any way you want.

The only thing that you should consider are the libraries. Unless otherwise stated, libraries created by members are licensed with the Create Commons license: Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0

Official libraries should not be distributed in any way.

Hi Erel,

I have some questions on this:

Official libraries should not be distributed in any way.

Does this mean you can't use the official libraries in any apps distributed on the market?
If you can, how should the official libraries be accredited in the apps?

Also, how to accredit correctly for Creative Commons licensed libraries?
Shoud you name the author, the library, or both?
