License?

[ericthewizard]

I'm thinking of using the JavaScript implementation in our new gif_walk tool at SPDF, but noticed there isn't a license yet (or one that I could find). Can we add a license (preferably something FOSS)?

[jbfaden]

I would just assume use GPL3, or do you have any other preference?

Use the Apache 2 license.

I've added a license file to the root, which applies to all three implementations.

Close this ticket if that will work fine for you.

Thanks - works for me!

[ericthewizard]

Oh wait - this might be a problem:

The GNU GPL is the most widely used free software license and has a strong copyleft requirement. When distributing derived works, the source code of the work must be made available under the same license.

I'm not sure what NASA would say about this. @candeynasa is GPL2 okay?

[candeynasa]

Please use the Apache 2 license for government work. GPL is not suitable for open science software and incompatible with mixing with other packages.

[jbfaden]

I could dual-license it, but I don't know if that can be done easily using GitHub. I'll just make it Apache 2.

[jbfaden]

It's now Apache 2.

Thanks!
