As ecm points out, the MIT and BSD Licenses also allow one to incorporate source code into a proprietary product, though the licenses say that you just give proper credit to the source code authors.

And also ... ... ... ...

One thing I have learnt recently is that the copyright owner — the names that appear after the © symbol — can be just as important as the terms of the software license. Basically, for a piece of code, only the code's copyright owners have legal standing to sue other people for license infringement. The names after the © will also say who have the rights to e.g. re-release future versions of the code under a different license.

This is all very messy, but then the world is messy.

Thank you!
