I’ve got had concerns of many licenses I’ve seen having nothing preventing other developers from taking code and claiming it as theirs. A few I’ve looked at included MIT and CPAL licenses. What licenses could offer some peace of mind in that regard?

  1. How about the Apache 2.0 license:

    You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works; and

    But I think you are worrying too much. Most users of FOSS code will happily retain attributions, license or no, and do you really have the financial resources to pursue those few who don’t?
