Good luck working on it!

Global preference for open source aside, whichever license you pick, I'd recommend visiting https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/eupl/solution/joinup-... for example, a great tool to find the appropriate license for your software.

https://reuse.software/tutorial/ is a great read and a wonderful initiative to help with licensing and compliance.

P.S: CC is not made for software.

I always end up with MPL whenever I do these kinds of selection guides and always wonder why it isn't more widely used. Is it because the lgpl covers a lot of the need for it, or because once you allow static linking you might as well go BSD?
