I would love to use this in a project I am working on. What is the license?

nathanboktae commented 9 years ago

It doesn't matter what it is as it's not part of your source or IP.

dzfranklin commented 9 years ago

Yes it does. I can't copy your code into my project unless you have a license allowing me to do so.

By default, it is copyright and I can't incorporate it into my own project or use it without your permission.

nathanboktae commented 9 years ago

ah you want to incorporate it into another sublime package. Got it. Yes you're right.

dzfranklin commented 9 years ago

I want to modify it and incorporate it into a website (that has no aim of getting a profit). Would this be alright?

nathanboktae commented 9 years ago

I'm not the owner just a random dude on the internet :)

Hits head

TheDutchCoder commented 9 years ago

Hey man feel free to use/copy/modifiy my code, but please just credit me somewhere. I didn't include a license, sorry about that.

You could consider this a "don't be a douche license" :smile:

dzfranklin commented 9 years ago

Sorry to bother you again, just want to make sure I'm not in legal danger in the future.

For legal reasons, can we say that you are giving me permission to use the project under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license?

Github's explanation:
