Google's Stance
From 2006 until 2010, Google Code only accepted projects licensed only under the following licenses:
- Apache License 2.0
- Artistic License/GPL (often used by the Perl community)
- GNU General Public License 3.0
- GNU General Public License 2.0
- GNU Lesser General Public License
- MIT License
- New BSD License
- Mozilla Public License 1.1
- Eclipse Public License
In 2008, Google started to recommend the Apache License and the GPLv3.
2010, Google reversed these restrictions, and announced that it would require that projects hosted on Google Code be licensed under an OSI-approved license (see #OSI's stance below).

Famous quotes containing the word stance:
“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
