Review using Cryptographic Autonomous License #17

Closed thecryptofruit closed 3 years ago

thecryptofruit commented 3 years ago

We need agreement on licensing. Currently happy with LGPL3, need to check Cryptographic Autonomous License, which has some protections for user data when cryptographic algorithms are involved (https://opensource.org/licenses/CAL-1.0).

CAL is just an idea. LGPL-3 is arguably a better license, all around, because it's easy to understand. :)

I've been delaying this for a long time. Maybe somebody else will study the topic in the coming months, here's just my initial list:

License farm
License Zero
Cryptographic Autonomy License
Blockchain Defensive Patent License

RichardLitt commented 3 years ago

I wouldn't worry about it, at the moment.

@dennisfurrer , can you mention biz license here, please? THanks.

dennisfurrer commented 3 years ago

@thecryptofruit Sure: https://github.com/Uniswap/uniswap-v3-core/blob/main/LICENSE Some context: Uniswap are looking to release their v3 under a "Business source license", keeping exclusivity for 2 years after release. It doesn't seem like their community is complaining either, which suggests that the crypto-community is not religious about having everything open-sourced immediately.

We are happy with LGPL3 for now. Thanks for all the input on this...
