Clarify license #4
Comments
I would like to know this as well. There's a bit of legal concern in projects that use your godiff code at the moment: https://gitea.com/gitea/tea/issues/492 |
It hasn’t been updated for six years. I think the only solution is to rewrite it with an open source license. For the record, I have had multiple successful cases where, with some package I found in the Internet which I liked but had an unclear license, contacting the author and copyright owner and getting the package relicensed under something open source compatible. I personally dual license my projects as Unlicense or BSD0 (since Google doesn’t like the Unlicense but will accept the BSD0 one) to make the licensing as permissive as possible. |
Hey guys, I know the author personally and asked him to add a license. |
@kovetskiy Thanks. The license issue is a little exaggerated. Anyway, if it will make anyone's life simpler, I've specified an MIT license. |
@kovetskiy Remember you also need to explicitly state that you agree with the chosen license (MIT) for your code contributions. You can also pick a compatible license if you don't agree with it. |
Thanks for clarifying @seletskiy. I meant to follow up, but lost track of this myself. |
For what it's worth, this is just one of many identical problems within gitea. |
Can you clarify under what license this code is provided?
Thanks
