I consent to this.

I take it the catalyst was more permissive distribution rights for projects utilizing this source. On Jan 2, 2016 6:47 AM, "Gabi Purcaru" notifications@github.com wrote:

Thanks for the support everyone! @keithzg and @tuler, please give us your input.

tuler commented 8 years ago

I consent

abuisine commented 8 years ago

I consent as well !

gabipurcaru commented 8 years ago

Thanks everyone! Unfortunately I've had to revert @keithzg's changes since he didn't respond (it was just a typo fix fortunately -- not sure whether that can be copyrighted but nevertheless I've decided to leave the typo in there for now just to be on the same side).

I've created #64 which changes the license. Please let me know if you see any problems with it. If everything's fine, I'll merge it in one or two days.

couresel commented 8 years ago

FYI, you can change the word/variable all together to something synonymous :)

Thanks for all the hard work. On Jan 10, 2016 3:54 AM, "Gabi Purcaru" notifications@github.com wrote:

gabipurcaru commented 8 years ago

It is done, thanks for all the help everyone!

@couresel, yes, definitely, good point.

keithzg commented 8 years ago

The typo fix is almost certainly not copywriteable, and in fact the FSF's guidance on small pieces of documentation, even when it's code being included in the documentation, is that this is okay: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#SourceCodeInDocumentation

So I frankly don't have to have given you the permission, but if you're so scared of the GPL that you think I gotta, then you have my permission :)

(Kinda my bad for being so inactive on Github the last while; I only noticed this 'cause I'm finally active again.)
