Dreamboard

Hello,

I want to publish a dreambox plugin with source code using the
GNU General Public License. I have not done this before - so I will be grateful for some advice.

If I add something like this with the python code - will that be enough :-

This might help: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
Especially the part about distributing the license file with the source code:

Zitat

You should also include a copy of the license itself somewhere in the distribution of your program. All programs, whether they are released under the GPL or LGPL, should include the text version of the GPL. In GNU programs the license is usually in a file called COPYING.

I prefer the WTF License

It's an easy to understand concept between v1, v2 and v3

we slightly adjusted DMM's license (we don't want our plugins to be run on any of the other enigma2-devices):
