License file/statement?

[ghost]

acburk,

Sorry for creating an "issue", but I didn't see another way to send you a message. (I am new to GitHub, so hopefully I did not miss something obvious :-)

Do you have a license for this project? I checked the source files and readme. The source files contain a copyright statement and essentially say "All rights reserved."

(If you are wondering why I am interested in an explicit license of some sort I can explain.)

Hey Brian,

Thanks for the interest, I suppose this is something I neglected so an issue is appropriate.

I haven't looked at the exact wording but I was thinking the MIT licence so basically: "Do whatever you like"! :D Though if you could give a mention/credit, it would be much appreciated. Also if you release something that uses it and point me in the direction, I'd mention it too!

Thanks,
Adam

Adam,

Thanks very much for the prompt reply.

An MIT license would be awesome. I spent quite a bit of time at a large
company working on Open Source issues and licenses, so I am familiar with
the fact that many larger companies are not comfortable using FOSS code
that does not include an explicit license, of the right type. A simple
"All rights reserved" statements makes them nervous. This is why I asked.

We are doing some prototyping/R&D at the moment. I've already passed on a
link to your work to a couple of buddies, and will Tweet it as well
(although practically no one follows me :-). If we do move ahead with our
product/app and use your work I'll be sure to give you credit!

Thanks again,

Brian Horblit
