Licensing Issue #85

Closed mitchellurgero closed 1 year ago

mitchellurgero commented 1 year ago

Readme (README.md) has a "Terms of Service" that violates the License (LICENSE) of this project.

The current License of this project, Apache 2.0 Open Source License, specifically permits commercial use of the code in this repo. However, the README clearly states that is not allowed: You are also not allowed to use this project for any comercial purposes or to make money. (Commercial is also misspelled here.)

It seems the license needs to be changed or the readme needs to be changed.

I am not a lawyer or anything and this is purely speculative, but from what I can read in the Apache license, this may be a violation of said license.
