For those programs, we recommend the Apache License 2.0. This is a pushover (non-copyleft) software license that has terms to prevent contributors and distributors from suing for patent infringement. This doesn't make the software immune to threats from patents (a software license can't do that), but it does prevent patent holders from setting up a &ldquo;bait and switch&rdquo; where they release the software under free terms then require recipients to agree to nonfree terms in a patent license.
