+-   Open Source Licenses for Academic Work? on Saturday September 20 2008, @05:39AM

An anonymous reader writes "Being in the process of submitting a scientific paper describing some techniques for data analysis, and releasing the associated code, we are faced with choosing an appropriate license. My supervisor insists there should be a citation clause, requiring any published article that uses results of the software to cite our paper. Of course ideally free software shouldn't have such encumberances and I initially tried to talk him out of it, but in academia this issue of attribution and citation is very important. Also, it is not a restriction on use of the software per se, only on publication of results. However I couldn't find any such license. I wondered what other academic slashdotters do?"
