Hello,

we have written plugin for discourse. We will place it on github, We want to share it with discourse. Which license shall we use to have it correctly to share it?

Thanks,

Josef

If you follow the official plugin skeleton, it uses the MIT License.

I’m no legal expert, but you may also want to pick a license that isn’t too restrictive, since admins can install it on their own public (and private) forums.

It’s also helpful that creating a LICENSE file on Github provides templates and an overview of what each license allows/encompasses.
