ToS for Our Work w/ Licensed OSS #23

Closed rjmajma closed 9 years ago

rjmajma commented 9 years ago

I'm sure we have projects that use licensed OSS as a part of our repo/software. I'm not sure if we've done an audit of the terms yet, but this seems like a great example to follow: https://github.com/cfpb/regulations-site/blob/master/TERMS.md#exceptions

I'll take a stab at attempting to modify it (doubt it'll take much) for our usage as a template with the appropriate documentation to describe how/when it should be used.

That's only required for certain licenses I think...e.g. CC-BY but not MIT.

rjmajma commented 9 years ago

Yeah, I meant more for the language above the "exceptions." After a quick glance at a few repos, it seems we're already doing this fairly consistently (I imagine that was @konklone a few months ago). Closing this.

@afeld MIT does require it's license be present if redistributing the code (as we do on github)
