Clarify license

Open Shachar opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

The project does not declare an open source (or any other) license. This makes it impossible to know whether I can use it inside my own project.

Ideally, the project's root should have a license file, and each file in the project should have a short header declaring that this file is governed by that license. This would avoid confusion about whether the project can be used.

Adding a license can only be done by the actual copyright holder.

To clarify, the project has two license files (and very similar licenses, while at it), no reference to license in the files themselves, and no declaration in the project's github metadata. It is unclear whether it's under MIT, Apache, either, some files are 1 and some the other, or whether these files are just part of some template and don't apply to the project.

Hi Shachar, the project is dual licensed under MIT and Apache-2.0. This gives upstream projects the flexibility to use it under either, depending on requirements.

I'll look into why GitHub isn't showing that, thanks for bringing this up.
