Under which License is this code published?

First of all, thanks for this repo!

I am trying to make your work available on NixOS. The expression to build the package is done, and the PR is pending at NixOS/nixpkgs#73069 .

However, a license is usually required as meta-information related to the package, and it seems to be missing from here. Under which license is this work available?

Thanks!

Here https://pypi.org/project/crypto-commons/ we put MIT, so I guess we'll stick with that. But isn't it enough that it's available in pip? Also you understand that this is by no means production-ready software of any kind? :) It's only value is purely educational at best.

It's very useful during CTFs I guess, but @Pharisaeus is onto something here.

Thanks for clarifying that!


Managing packages with Nix is much more reliable than using pip ;)

However, one of the maintainer pointed out this "lack of production readiness", and preferred to direct me to the community-managed repo.

Playing some CTFs, it has some "gain of time" value too ;) And being on NixOS, I wrote the package expression; Now, I am in the process of making my repo available to the community.

I saw that our lack of tests is a problem (technically we could easily add tests using CTF challenges, but it;s not a priority). The same reasin is why we don't have real releases. License is not a problem (it's MIT, we'll add it to the repo) though.

Thanks for using crypto-commons and working on adding it to nix btw!
