* **Do you want your project to be used as a dependency by other projects?** Probably best to use the most popular license in your relevant community. For example, [MIT](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/) is the most popular license for [npm libraries](https://libraries.io/search?platforms=NPM).

Your **company** may have policies for open source project licensing. Some companies require your projects to bear a permissive license to permit integration with the company's proprietary products. Other policies enforce a strong copyleft license and an additional contributor agreement ([see below](#does-my-project-need-an-additional-contributor-agreement)) so only your company can use the project in closed source software. Organizations may also have certain standards, social responsibility goals, or transparency needs which could require a particular licensing strategy. Talk to your [company's legal department](#what-does-my-companys-legal-team-need-to-know) for guidance.
