Missing license information for modules

Open vikram-rana-synaptics opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

In the LICENSE file, it is made clear that each module is separately licensed, and that licenses should be inferred from the files with that module directory. However, there are a number of modules that do not have any associated licensing information. The datetime module, for instance, contains no licensing information. How should we infer the licensing for these modules?

+1 to this. I am copying individual files (ssd1306.py, ntptime.py so far) into my project and would like to preserve their licenses, but it's not clear which license applies to each.

The license file also states :

Files not belonging to a particular module are provided under the MIT license, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

logic then says that hen there is no explicit license for a module / folder , that then MIT license applies.
