Dear ThirdSpace,

Michelle Murphy is a Professor of UofT's History Department and she has built an app for the Aamjiwnaang First Nation. She needs to know about licensing her app (please find details below). 

I am not an expert here, but if any of you have any experience/knowledge/expertise, please let me know.

Hi Ishtiaque,

I hope you are enjoying these last gasps of summer!

I had a question I am hoping you can help me with.  I recall that you
have built some nonprofit apps as part of your research.  We have built
one for our lab that is for the use of Aamjiwnaang First Nation.  It
does not collect data on users and does  not require sign in, but is
informational, and facilities folks sending own email to the ministry of
environment.

I plan to make the software available on github, and to allso make the
databse of research available online as well, with creative commons
licensing.

I need to specify a licensing terms for the app store for the app
itself, and don't know what to do, or what is best practice. I am
wondering what you have done? Do you have any advice to offer.

I was looking at this license:

https://opensource.org/licenses/NPOSL-3.0

Many thanks for any advice you have!

Michelle
