New colleagues coming! And bringing beer and burgers with them! I can already smell the fire of the barbecue from the garden behind the office. That reminds me of a software license I recently stumbled upon: beerware. This license provides the user with the usual open source rights (use the software, do anything with the code). However, if the user meets the author one day, he should buy him beer in return (or, in some variations, drink a beer in the author’s honor). Eventually I have an answer to the question “What is your favorite kind of license?” if Vanity Fair is doing an interview with me.
