License Question

Open spectejb opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

@andris9 - Two license questions for you:

-Would you be willing to update to EUPL 1.2? It adds more compatible licenses in the Appendix. -Would you be willing to dual license with MIT, BSD or Apache in case companies are more comfortable with permissive?

Both recommendations would be helpful with increasing adoption of mimelib across the board!

Thanks, in advance, for your consideration!

Do you really need to use the mimelib module? This module is deprecated in favour of MIT-licensed libmime (not 100% compatible though). If you do still need to use mimelib then could you clarify what for/how you are using it?

We are actually not sure. It is being picked up by our scanning software and showing up in our reports. Therefore, it is used within a dependency somewhere. (I know. Not very helpful)

Hi! :) We run into the same: Some of our developers consider using Go-logrus-elasticsearch v. 1.0.2 (https://github.com/interactive-solutions/go-logrus-elasticsearch/releases). We noticed that most of the project repositories are licensed under MIT, and would like to confirm whether MIT also applies for the above mentioned repository?
