License Clarification

[koppor]

LICENSE.txt has the following paragraph:

Code published by Scott Andrews or Mark Fisher is copyright VMware.

VMware, Inc.
3401 Hillview Avenue
Palo Alto, CA 94304

This makes the possible use of the library unclear. Following questions:

• Is it possible to remove the contributions of VMware without removing integral parts of the library? Is it possible to rewrite the parts to prevent copyright violation?
• If not, is it possible to license VMware's contributions under MIT?
• If not, is it possible to license VMware's contributions and the whole library under Apache 2.0 license?
• If not, is it possible to license VMwares's contributions under the Eclipse Public License (EPL) and possibly the whole library under EPL?

EPL should not be an issue as VMware published a whole project under EPL: http://eclipse.org/proposals/rt.vertx/

@koppor msgs.js is made available, in its entirety, under the MIT license.

As a VMware employee, all of my work product is owned by VMware. The portion of license.txt you reference is simply trying to acknowledge that VMware holds the copyright for any commit I made. As the copyright holder, VMware decided to release msgs.js to the community under an MIT license.

Sorry for any confusion. I'm open to suggestions for making this distinction more clear.

Maybe just add " and also licensed under the above license".
