Hello David,

We purposefully kept our policy wording as simple as we could by only licensing our offerings under GPL v3.0.

http://rucore.libraries.rutgers.edu/open/

"License: All programs are free software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v. 3.0 as published by the Free Software Foundation. All terms within the GNU GPL v. 3.0 license apply without reservation."

Regards,
Chad

All-
If you work at an organization that releases open source software that your staff coders develop, I would be interested in reading your policy on that, if you have one written up that you can share, or otherwise in hearing your common practice, if that's not too much trouble. On or off list as your preference would have it.

 I've located the following so far:
UCSD    https://confluence.crbs.ucsd.edu/display/CRBS/Releasing+Open+Source+Software+at+UCSD

Stanford        http://otl.stanford.edu/inventors/resources/inventors_opensource.html

Texas   http://www.utexas.edu/cio/policies/pdfs/Procedure%20for%20Releasing%20Software%20as%20Open%20Source%20or%20Contributing%20Software%20to%20Existing%20Projects%20Licensed%20Under%20the%20GNU%20General%20Public%20License.pdf

Much obliged,
