What kind of license for a new skin for OpenPLI on github?
#1

I started a github repo for it (and it will be updated from there), and since it has brand new self made graphics and skin code from scratch, I asked their advice on what license to use.
What I opt for is to prevent (in a realistic way, I know nothing can be really "prevented") people from redistributing their own mods regarding skin code and graphics without github pull requests and my permission.
They told me to use an GNU public license v3 and state what I allow or not in the header of the skin xml (which I did).
Since it will make its debut here, is that OK with you as well, or is it advisable to use another type of license? I'm new to github regarding my own projects.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

GPL requires people to publish their changes if they publish their end-result, but it doesn't require them to send those back to you. You have to go and get them.
You could look at Creative Commons: https://creativecommons.org/choose/ to see if there is a form that will suit you.
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)
Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.
Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.
