Open-Source ‘Which License?’ Wizard

Picture this: you’ve built something brilliant and open-source — a tool, a design kit, a blog series, a chunk of code you’re quietly proud of — and now you’re staring at that annoying question every creator eventually hits: “What licence should I actually put on this thing?”

That moment can feel like wandering into a legal maze with a torch that’s running low. MIT? GPL? CC BY? CC0? And what’s the difference between “non-commercial” and “no derivatives” anyway? It’s enough to make anyone just slap “all rights reserved” on the whole lot and run. This little wizard exists to make that whole headache disappear.

Whether you’re open-sourcing a project, releasing a UI kit, publishing tutorials, or sharing artwork, this page gives you a confident, sensible licence in seconds. It steps through the core questions — commercial use, modification, attribution, share-alike — and gives you a clear, human explanation of the licence that fits your answers. No jargon. No panic. No lawyers hiding in the walls. Just a quick, friendly way to understand the landscape and choose something that matches your intentions.
