I have a project is a small social network site. You can check it at http://socialof.me I am actively developing this project and I am planning it to be open source.But I am confused about licenses. At the future,if this project will be bigger,I am planning this project to make company and probably add ads to this network. Then of course,this company will earn money from project.

I research licenses,some of them (i.e. Apache License 2.0) says you can use software for commercial purposes. How that company will lay claims to this project  ? Or that company never get claims of this project  ?

Question : What is your licenses advice about this kind of project ?

Regards.

I have a project that a small social network site (which is here). I am actively developing this project and I am planning it to be open source. But I am confused about licensing it. In the future, if this project will be bigger, I am planning to make a company out of the project and place advertisements within the interface, so that I can make money off of it. and probably add ads to this network.

I've researched a few licenses; however, I'm confused about how they work. The Apache license states that you can use the software for commercial purposes. How will another company lay claims to the project? Will that company ever get claims to the project?

I'm fairly confused as to how this works - could somebody guide me here?
