Hexameter uses the MIT license which is pretty much standard. Did I miss something?
Aha, so what I'm complaining about is that the MIT license doesn't declare itself to be the MIT license like, say, Apache license!
I'm not sure I follow. GitHub seems to recognize it:
and it is also one of the recommended licenses by GitHub (take a look here). Can you clarify your point?
Aw, I don't look at Github to tell me stuff like that, I cloned and perused the codebase but I didn't pay recognise the MIT format. No issue here 'cept with me! Will send some PRs your way shortly for minor items and raise some Issues for other stuff.
That's great news! Feel free to come up to our discord server if you'd want to discuss things. We have plans to change the MIT license to Apache though but it is also well-explained and recognized by GitHub.
Bespoke licenses force developers to pause and become trainee lawers before progressing. Given the apparent free-for-all nature of Hexameter LICENSE file, why not just use BSD2?
