### Families

- Permissive: Licences in this family ask little more than that the copyright notice and the licence text stay with copies.
- Weak copyleft: Licences in this family ask that changed versions of the licensed code itself stay under the same licence, but not the other code it is combined with.
- Copyleft: Licences in this family ask that works based on the licensed code carry the same licence when they are distributed, and the GPL asks for their source code as well.
- Terms in a file: The terms are only in the package's own licence file.

The mark: offers no permissive licence, in a family that raises the flag.
