Inconsistent licensing #39

Closed k4y3ff closed 9 years ago

k4y3ff commented 9 years ago

The main README.md says this repo is under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, but the LICENSE file reflects the Eclipse Public License (v 1.0).

I think this is on purpose. Creative Commons licenses are not recommended for code, so it should be under an appropriate OSI-approved license. EPL is the de facto standard for Clojure libraries since this is the license used by Clojure and its core libraries.

Though perhaps we need to clarify which parts are under EPL and which are CC.

Sam, this repo is essentially only training materials, not code (although there is a tiny bit of packaging code). The license file was added by lein new before we had really finalized intentions. I think it's more confusing than useful to have it as there is no code here we're trying to protect. The confusion is amplified because gorilla repl packages the content in .clj files.

:+1: to changing to CC across the board for this repo

puredanger commented 9 years ago

Done.
