Can I just release my software under a free license like the GNU GPL or an open source license?
If you are committed to the free software movement, the University of Colorado does not have a problem with your releasing software under the GPL. However, we would like you to think about your goals for distribution of the software before choosing the GPL because the license may not actually match with your goals. Please see the bulletin on Early Release Software for the pros and cons of the GPL.
