Project needs a proper open-source license.

emres commented 13 years ago

Why not GPL then?

BYK commented 13 years ago

Well GPL is somewhat "viral" which I do not like much. I am considering Apache License v2 but not sure yet.

emres commented 13 years ago

And the problem its being 'viral' in the context of this project is...?

BYK commented 13 years ago

I don't know, I just want to be cautious. So you're in the favor of GPL?

emres commented 13 years ago

Generally yes. But you are the initiators and main developers of the project, so naturally it is up to you come up with the final decision. It's just that I don't see any reason why GPL would hurt.

BYK commented 13 years ago

Okay, will keep this in mind ;)
