[@OKFNau] BudgetAus going open source

Tue Mar 4 23:50:02 UTC 2014

hi rosie

congratulations on the decision to open source budgetaus. just wanted to
pitch in a reinforce that creative commons is not recommended for licensing
software. cc provide an faq on why they do not recommend their licences for
such purposes,
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_apply_a_Creative_Commons_license_to_software.3F

that said, cc may be appropriate for other copyrighted elements or for
documentation.
