NaviNet-OSS / MSSQL-DbBot

This is a forked version of DbBot, which is a Python script to serialize Robot Framework produced test run results, i.e. output.xml files, into a database. This version serializes the results into a Microsoft® SQL Server database to provide the future Robot Framework related tools and plugins with a unified storage for the test run results.

Add original Apache 2 license back #1

Closed pekkaklarck closed 10 years ago

pekkaklarck commented 10 years ago

The original DbBot project is licensed under Apache 2. It's a violation of that license that you have removed the license from the repository. Apache 2 doesn't restrict relicensing, as long as you keep the original license, so you can keep distributing the project under MIT license if you want. There are no practical differences between these two licenses, though, so it would be easier to just use Apache 2.

Notice that it is a mistake in DbBot that it doesn't have copyright notices in the source code. That will be fixed shortly: https://github.com/robotframework/DbBot/issues/6

Also, if you are interested in contributing your MS SQL database writer and possible other enhancements to the original project let us know. It would be nice if the original tool would support multiple databases. We are already planning to refactor the code so that adding support for other database backends be easier: https://github.com/robotframework/DbBot/issues/7

Our preferred license at the time was MIT (Anssi gave permission) we have discussed the license and have no problem adopting the Apache 2 license. We are happy for you to merge anything from the fork back into the original.
