10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Open-source licensing is a way to give back to developer communities and help technology grow at an exponentially faster pace. Open-source licenses allow software to be freely used, modified, or shared, while respecting the original programmer's authorship and intent. Explore the world of open source, and discover how to choose a licensing model for your app, in this Foundations of Programming course with attorney and technologist John V. Petersen.
This is not a coding course. Rather, it's an exploration of the legal and business aspects of open-source software licensing—including topics such as contributor agreements and patent licenses. The major open-source licenses (GPL, MIT, and Apache) are covered in depth, and John also provides an overview of establishing a business entity for your software project: a key factor in the ongoing success of many open-source communities.
Topics include:
What is a license?
What is a software license?
Understanding the principles of open source
Exploring the three basic licenses: GPL, MIT, and Apache
Choosing the right open-source license
Working with Creative Commons
Dual licensing
Granting contributor license agreements
Establishing a legal business entity for your development project
