Add MIT license (based on license of Haxe standard library)

@Simn @ncannasse ?

Simn commented 1 month ago

Is the MIT license actually compatible if we pull the documentation for packages like js.html from other sources? I have no idea how that works in such cases.

Maniues commented 1 month ago

@Simn there are licenses like CC-BY-SA for some MDN docs or something. Haxelib documentation should be available under MIT license. Any other packages can have their own license. I can check (or at least try) what other licenses are, but you can just add information "All works by Haxe Foundation" for the MIT license.

I found that when there is a CC-BY-SA license (for MDN docs), the CC-BY-SA license is available from the web view and in XML file e.g. https://api.haxe.org/js/html/AbortController.html

I don't know under which license are flash XMLs, but you should provide at least a copyright note. And Java packages (if they are taken from the OpenJDK source as Javadoc) are under GPL+CE.

This repo needs a fix, because there may be a copyright violation.

Simn commented 1 month ago

Hmm yes, I thought this repo only had the generator code but with the XMLs being here too I agree this should be addressed...

... somehow

@Simn I can assist with this, but please note that there are other repositories without a license as well. I hope you can help address those too.

VERY IMPORTANT:
