“Explain me like I’m 5!” Imagine you made a cool toy, and you want to share it with your friends. But you also want to set some rules for how they can play with it. These rules are like licenses for open source projects. Here are some popular ones:
-
public domain: This is like saying, "Play with my toy however you like! You can even say it's your own."
-
mit license: You say, "You can play with my toy and even change it, but you have to say I made the first version."
