Can I work on github with opened source code on commercial project and how? [closed]

Question

I really want to work with my project on GitHub and then Sell it (binary).

is that possible ?

what license I must to chose / create for it ?

Answer 1

I can't see any license restriction at http://help.github.com/terms/. But when you don't want the the source to be visible to anyone, you need to use a paid private repo.

edit: license details

For the license itself you need to use a license which is compatible to your business model. See the the Wikipedia article for a start point. Even GPL does not forbid you to sell your software (but I wouldn't recommend it for commercial software). See Reviewing Software License Agreements: A Licensee's Checklist for a more detailed view on the topic. Also when you decide to create your own license I suggest to contact a lawyer in the creation process.
