[modifier] The MIT / X Window System License / La Licence MIT/ X Window System
If your goal is that your code be accessible by the greatest possible number of developers and derivative works, and you do not mind the code being used in proprietary programs, choose the MIT / X Window System license (so named because it is the license under which the Massachusetts Institute of Technology released the original X Window System code). This license's basic message is "You are free to use this code however you want." It is compatible with the GNU GPL, and it is short, simple, and easy to understand:
Si votre souhait est que votre code soit accessible au plus grand nombre de développeurs et de travaux dérivés possible et que le fait que votre code se retrouve sous une licence propriétaire ne vous dérange pas, choisissez la licence du MIT / X Window System (appelée ainsi parce que c'est sous cette licence que l'Institut de Technologie du Massachusetts a déposé son code du système X Window). Cette licence véhicule un message simple : « Vous êtes libre d'utiliser ce code comme vous le souhaitez ». Elle est compatible avec la GNU GPL, elle est succincte, simple et facile à comprendre.
