license? #5

Is this a free open source project?

I'm asking because there is no license file, so it isn't considered to be open source software.

Thanks!

GPL2+ just like everything else in KDE/plasma-*. Normally I tag it in the metadata.desktop file like in here but I'm a bit lazy with the "boring stuff" and it seems I forgot for this widget. Putting it on GitHub implicitly implies it's open source anyways.

I tend to not add LICENSE files since clutters the project root, and Sublime Text doesn't auto-hide license headers (by default at least) so I avoid those as well.

Nice! Thanks!

Putting it on GitHub implicitly implies it's open source anyways. Not according to this :) https://help.github.com/articles/licensing-a-repository/

Anyway. Issue resolved! :)

The icons were drawn as SVGs by me (blog post), but it's possible the designs could be licensed by the Unity project which is GPL too I think, or Microsoft for their icon. I doubt it'll be an issue in either case though.

I'm actually interesting in reusing ExecUtil.qml in other kde widgets :)

Zren commented 5 years ago

Ah.

I've got several different versions of ExecUtil myself as it's useful in many applications. I've also modified it to use callbacks instead of needing to use if/else conditionals in the signal handler like I do in this widget.
