🚀 Privative-Friendly Source-Shared License (PFSSL) v1.0
A unique license that fills the gap between permissive licenses (like MIT or BSD) and more protective ones (like LGPL, or AGPL), offering a middle ground that ensures non-infective usage with proprietary software, while still requiring source code availability, proper attribution, and accounting for network-based usage.

#SoftwareLicensing Changes and Their Impact on Financial Outcomes #OpenSource
So what exactly constitutes "prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date" for #GPLv3 code?
For example, I'm working on a personal project and writing licensing it under the GPLv3. If I want to take and modify a single function (or a few) from another GPLv3-licened projected, how do I state the modifications and the date? Do git commits count? What exactly do I need to do?
NetLicensing wasn’t made to be perfect – it was made to be useful!
