Open source projects are the backbone of internet.
From web servers to browsers mostly everything is open source and yet still there are people who steal open source project code , I'm referring it as stealing because they don't follow the license!
To prevent this ,a non profit community driven company named Open Source Protector with a motto that open source projects should be used as their license allows them to use it, OSP includes a few licenses one for commercial use,one for personal use and one for non profit use.If someone registers their project here under any license osp provides(you can choose) , your project will be in their database and protected .If someone misuses your project you can file a report here and the community will help you legally. You can also contribute to OSP here and your github name will be included in the front page.Honestly this isn't a bad idea , it is actually a decent one . After-all having protection wouldn't hurt.
