Licence please?

I wonder could you put copyright headers and a licence on the files? If it's a free licence such as Apache or GPLv3 then I would like to distribute the app built from source on f-droid.org.

Hi,

I have already covered my app (Root Verifier) with the GPLv2 license. The LICENSE.txt file could be found at the root folder of the source code. SO I guess that you can distribute it on f-droid:).

Hi, Sorry to be nitpicky but there is an incompatibility between GPLv2 and the Apache licence. Now, if you were to put GPLv2 or later with your copyright at the top of the source file, then we would be able to publuh it as GPLv3.

Thanks,

Dave.

P.S Donation links are welcome: Bitcoin Flattr or XDA profile are all fine as long as they're kept updated.

So, if I update the license to GPLv3 and add a copyright in my src/com/abcdjdj/rootverifier/MainActivity.java then would you be able to publish it on F-Droid?

Thanks.

You can keep the GPLv2 licence in the root if you wish, but the copyright headers must allow us to use as GPLv2 or later i.e GPLv3.

BTW I'm just reading about Twitter moving Bootstrap to MIT licence for this same reason. Issue #2054:Migrate to MIT License https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/2054

Done. Added the copyright header in the MainActivity.java file.
