  20. Re:stop thinking logically on Open Sourcing Software in a Large Corporation? · · Score: 1

    While the GPL is a better choice than BSD if your purpose in open sourcing it is publicity; I don't think the GPL is quite restrictive enough. If someone doesn't like the way you manage the project, they can just fork it and remove all references to your company except a small blurb on a well-hidden about page...

    That of course depends on how many ass-holes decide to use your software that don't like your company...
