I have developed some software and would like to release it under an open source software license. How can I do this?

Fill out the software disclosure form. Please indicate the type of open source license under which you want to release your software. The academic license commonly used at Berkeley may be viewed. The OTL will work to quickly determine any possible encumbrances and will work with you to release the software under your chosen license or another appropriate license that meets your goals. Please make sure, however, that all authors of the software sign the completed form before submitting it to the OTL. If you are planning to release software into an existing collaborative project, you may find that the project leaders have already pre-selected a license distribution model for use under the project. If this is the case, it is a good idea to check with the OTL before committing to the project as there may be conflicting licensing requirements with your sponsored research agreement or other potential encumbrances associated with your software.
