I have build my portable app and will publish it on my own web site (because it is freeware, not GPL).
On my web site I would like to refer in this context to further Portable Apps on this page (portableapps.com) and show the PortableApps.Com logo for this purpose.
Any legal/copyright/property concerns with this?
Thanks,
Franz

You can mention PortableApps.com and use the logo to link here, but do not include the logos in any of your software.
Also, you can't use the source of any of the PortableApps.com launchers for your freeware software (yet).

Wouldn't that be against the OpenSource concept?

The GPL forces you to remain GPL. That is why I don't use it.

The GPL has more restrictions. Some of which are OK, but I don't like the you must use open source part. The MIT License is pretty much public domain.

Everything I am releasing is gonna be MITed, GPL can go to He double hockey sticks!

The fact that the GPL is so restrictive. I love opensource, but I think GPL is too restrictive (it is almost like a proprietary liscence in a way).
EDIT: I am taking about what I said about GPL going to He double hockey sticks, I am just gonna GPL some of my software and other are gonna be MITed

Of course, the problem with the MIT or BSD license is that someone like Microsoft can then take all the code you worked so hard on, add some proprietary stuff to it and sell it as a product without releasing any of their changes back to you.
With the GPL, you're guaranteeing that a company can't take your work and use it in a non-open manner.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
That is exactly what I don't like about the GPL. If it was something like it must be freeware instead of opensource or you are required to say where it came from. I might use it for some things. The way I see the GPL is you have no choice but to make your program GPLed even if you only use one line of code.

I don't want Micro$oft stealing my work, perhaps some of my software will be GPLed and others MITed
