Update Moonshine license to SSPL #577

We need to update Moonshine license to SSPL

Each file should contains following header:

As part of the issue we need to review each library which we are using and it is listed in the console during initial Moonshine launching.

Please make sure if we need this line, or we need to refer MondoDB to describe SSPL (although, I'm not sure if this license type is something intellectual to MondoDB or not):

We need someone from Legal sight in Prominic to answer that question. I don't have knowledge towards such things.

I would like to briefly change license for upcoming release. Following question arise:

  1. What should I put in LICENSE.MD file ?
  2. In license we have mention MongoDB what should be done with that if any ?
JoelProminic commented 4 years ago

MongoDB, Inc publishes the SSPL license, so this reference should not change.

We need to update LICENSE.MD to reference the SSPL license. There is a link in the description above.

Third-party code may have different licenses. We need to preserve these licenses.

Here's the tool I made and used for this in case anyone else needs it: https://github.com/Moonshine-IDE/FileFilter

piotrzarzycki21 commented 2 years ago

We have decided move this to next release.

JoelProminic commented 2 years ago

@Aszusz, you should proceed with this now. The big Haxe migration merge is completed, so this is a good time.

JoelProminic commented 1 year ago

@Aszusz is planning to update to the new license over the weekend.

JoelProminic commented 1 year ago

We discussed this with @Aszusz, and this is ready to be closed
