About licensing

Open dmlls opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I just found this project and looks pretty cool!

I see the project uses casefy's code (here). Casefy has MIT License, which basically lets you do whatever with the code, but it's still subject to: "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software." Do you think you could add it?

Yes, I'm the author of casefy and I hope this doesn't come across as rude or anything, but I believe developers' work should be recognized, especially when dealing with free software.

Also, I recommend that you add a license to your own project, since the lack of it means that it's copyrighted, which I'm not entirely sure is what you want? This tool can help you decide: https://choosealicense.com/.

I would suggest releasing the code under the GPL-3.0-or-later, AGPL-3.0-or-later, or LGPL license so that others are encouraged to contribute changes back to your project. MIT and Apache-2.0 are compatible.

I am also curious whether Unprompted can have a license added to it. It would help clarify how people can contribute and work with it.
