Sometimes, especially when you have a technical blog and publish code examples or even fully working controls, it can be important to clearly states the License under which you release your work and how others can/should use it.

I always underestimated this point and didn’t spent too much time on it in the past, but recently I started to look around at what types of licenses one can use for the software he produces that he want to share with the community.

Today, after checking some options, I decided to opt for a Creative Common license system (have a look at http://creativecommons.org/) which also allow distribution and commercial use of the samples I will post here.

If you have a blog and/or post code samples attaching a license to them, will help your readers to use the code the way it was meant to be by the author.
