Hello, I'm asking this question because I'm not very well informed about some open-source issues, so I hope someone sheds some light on this matter.
How can one maintain his lead of software he made open-source. What rights one keeps? Don't I loose my word on direction software is taking after I open-source it? Any things to watch out?
I'll be very grateful for every answer, thank you
If you create a open source project then You will be the moderator / committer. You could license it and host it in any of the free source code hosting site such as sourceforge. If any one wants to add / modify then they need to probably do it in the trunk and if you find the stuff reasonable then you could integrate it to the main branch. Check out some open source projects, they have some list of committers and they need to review and approve the changes, then only the code could get added to the main stream.
