I just want to make sure I'm using the right license for my open source API wrapper project for some social networks and also make sure I understand it. Could you just describe the basics of that license? What I can and can't do, etc? Does these things suit the GPLv2 license:Open Source'nessAbility to use it in your own projectBut also give credit for it on ones website and keep copyright notices at the top of source filesHave control over it as in if you don't like how someone is using your code, you can report it somewhere after contacting the developer.I would also like to make commercial versions and add ads to my project - so exceptions in the license would be noted.Thank you all for your answers and comments. I've gone with the shorter and easier to understand New BSD License (BSD). Thanks anyway.
Could you describe GNU General Public License (GPLv2) in for Dummies terms?

Basically you're saying:Please feel free to do whatever you want with this.As long as you give me credit for my work.And as long as you make the source code available to anyone you distribute whatever you build on top of my work to.And as long as you extend these same rights to those who you distribute to.
