Non-free license #246

Closed Calinou closed 10 years ago

Calinou commented 10 years ago

Fix: switch to a free license (MIT/Expat, GPL, whatever).

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature :)

To prevent “exploitation” of your work, you're better off using a copyleft license, actually. See this page for explanations as to why you shouldn't use non-commercial clauses.

Also, the purpose of issues isn't only to report bugs.

In my experience, ShareAlike-style licenses are much more crippling than NC ones. I wouldn’t want to force that on anybody.

LOL, totally missing the point of my reply there.

Well, I see stuff like that, so I'm wondering what you're gaining from making it non-free. It's not like anyone will probably use this for “profit” anyway.

LeaVerou commented 10 years ago

Not sure what your point is. Yes, all my other work is MIT-licensed, so? As to whether anyone would use it for profit, you’d be surprised.
