We need to choose a license for the project. GNU GPLv3 or MIT?

What license does cossan have? If we're going to use any of it's code it might effect our license

FriesischScott commented 4 years ago

Cossan is GPLv3 but I don't think we will really be using any of its code.

The MIT License is short and to the point. It lets people do almost anything they want with your project, like making and distributing closed source versions.

The GNU GPLv3 also lets people do almost anything they want with your project, except distributing closed source versions.

The difference comes down to allowing closed source or not. In that sense I think GNU GPLv3 would be nicer. @AnderGray Do you agree?
