small rewordings and typos #3

I approve the changes, but you have to transit the copyright to me, that I'm allowed to relicense this. I will never make this closed source, I just want to remove the GPL License one day for a more permissive license. Just to make it actually usable. |

I'm rather fond of the GPL myself, and if your intention is to never make this closed source, that's one of the key qualities of the license. I do however not wish to cause any problems for you down the line, so I will probably be happy to any license arrangements you propose. I hereby license my contribution under a dual GPLv3 and MIT license. If that's not enough and you need a full transfer of copyright (not customary for open source projects), please repeat that request and I will do so. (That said, I would be unlikely to claim many rights for a very superficial derivative change). |

I explained everything here: https://github.com/umgefahren/image-comp-lib-rust/wiki/Contributions-and-Licensing |

Well, that clarified your intent, though I must warn against the plan about rolling a custom license. Requiring all contributions to transfer copyright would make people think twice about contributing, and for many, including me, it's a definitive no-go. If someone ever has an idea for improving the software, forking their own project would then be much preferable to contributing to the original project because of this requirement. Nevertheless, for this specific pull request, I'm posting your suggested sentence: |
|
Thank you. The irony. I'll change it to MIT |
|
I'm sorry that I had to bother you. I hope I didn't kill your amazing spirit. |

Considering the purpose of this pull request was to sort out problems related to contribution, it seems to have been very successful. |
An example pull request, in case you want to give the whole merging process a try. This will come up a lot if you are working with multiple contributors.
