Distribution license? #3

Open rudymatela opened 7 years ago

Hi @byorgey,

I note that this project does not have a LICENSE file nor it mentions conditions for distribution.

Would it be possible to add such a thing?

Btw, I provisionally forked this project so me and my colleague @JerrySwan can play around with it:

https://github.com/rudymatela/boltzmann

Is that ok with you? If that is not ok, just let me know and I'll take the fork down.

Best Regards, Rudy

Hi @rudymatela,

Good question. Alexis Darrasse (https://sites.google.com/view/darrasse) originally wrote the code and I modified it in some relatively insignificant ways. So I suppose he should decide what the license is. If I recall correctly, he sent me a link to the code (which was already publicly accessible in any case) with the understanding that he was probably not going to work on it anymore, so I would guess that he would be happy to license it under any sort of non-restrictive license (as am I); but I do not know exactly.

Forking the project is perfectly fine with me.

Note you may be interested in looking at the boltzmann-samplers library.

Thanks for the reply. I'll contact Alexis then let you know what he says.
