Project has no explicit license

Open adrianbroher opened this issue 9 years ago • 10 comments

Hello everybody,

as you may know this project does not contain any license file or license statement. While I don't know the legal implications of not having any license, I would like to point out that the extensions.gnome.org page requires the extension maintainer to release the extension under the terms of the GNU Public License version 2 or later.

Therefor I would like to ask every contributor to agree to change/apply the GPLv2 license to this project by stating his agreement this issue.

Why I'm asking specifically for the GPLv2 license you may ask; there are two reasons:

  1. Not providing any GPLv2+ compatible license does not allow me to distribute this project on extensions.gnome.org
  2. @UshakovVasilii provides a fork of this project with some great features but did some modifications I don't like (like dropping localization support). He licensed his project under the terms of GPLv2 and applying that license to this project would allow some better exchange of features.

List of contributors (ordered as reported by the contributors list) agreeing to the licensing:

  • [x] @adrianbroher
  • [ ] @xtranophilist
  • [x] @farsx
  • [ ] @warmsun0220

I agree to licensing gnome-shell-extensions-sensors to the GPLv2+ license.

Although, personally I'd prefer something like MIT or BSD for simplicity, both of which are GPL compatible.
