License?

[BigBlueHat]

Would you consider dual-licensing this under the MIT & GPL as jQuery is licensed?

Thanks!

Hi!
To be perfectly honest, I don't know the difference. I just added the license that seemed to be the one for open source software. :-)

Could you explain why I should license it under both MIT and GPL - I'm curious to know more!

There's loads of license options for software: http://opensource.org/licenses/category

The reason to either switch to the MIT entire or "dual license" it under both the MIT and GPL (as jQuery is licensed) would be to allow it to be mixed into other software that is not licensed under something that is "compatible" with the GPL--Apache Licensed software is not compatible, for instance.

If you want to dive deeper, checkout "Understanding Open Source and Free Software Licensing" book from O'Reilly:

Hi!

No, I don't want to license it under MIT or dual license. I'm fine with the GPL license.
