Mike:  

You should probably start at the Open Source Initiative web site: www.opensource.org <http://www.opensource.org> . It not only provides links to articles, related sites, etc., but to the principle Open Source licenses which have been established.

	I've been asked to review a license agreement for a project that

involves open source licensing for software. In particular, the author wants to license software that interfaces with open source software, but he wants to be sure that he retains authorship and control over his software. His financial gain will be derived from consulting and support of his product. Can anyone suggest an online primer that would be helpful in pointing out the particularities of such a license?
