Rune Is Now Open Source

Announcement explaining why the Rune IDE was rebuilt from first principles in Go and released under the GPLv3, including a contributor program that shares revenue with outside contributors.

Why I recommend it: A clear read on how open-source projects actually get funded and how new contributors can get paid for their work.

Open Source Initiative

The stewards of the Open Source Definition, with plain-language explanations of every approved licence and guidance on choosing one for your own project.

Why I recommend it: Read this before you publish code or a template — the license you pick decides what others can legally do with your work.

SBA: Apply for Licenses and Permits

How to find the federal, state, and local licenses your business type needs, including industry-specific permits.

In plain terms: This government guide outlines the basic legal and operational steps needed to launch a small business. You can use it to research local regulations, choose a business structure, and identify the licenses and permits you need.

Why I recommend it: Local rules trip people up more than federal ones. Check your city and county pages too.
