[REQ] Switch to a GH-compliant license #222

Closed MarcoRavich closed 6 months ago

MarcoRavich commented 6 months ago

Hi there, 1st of all thanks for this cool work !

Since we've "doxed" it in our HyMPS project (under the AUDIO category \ Tools page \ ASIO subsection), can you please switch to a "GH-compliant" license file ?

Although it may sounds like a minor aspect, license file uncompliance causes an inconsistent generation of the relative badge too:

(badge-generator URL: https://flat.badgen.net/github/license/dechamps/FlexASIO/?label=LICENSE)

Anyway you can easily set a compliant one through the GH's license wizard tool.

Last but not least, let us know - in your opinion - how we could improve our categorizations and links to resources in order to favor collaboration between developers (and therefore evolution) of listed projects.

Thanks in advance.

The reason why the license file is non-standard is because I'm calling out the special terms and conditions of the ASIO trademark and the ASIO SDK. (And yes, Steinberg does actually care about this - they sent me an email at some point to complain that I was not abiding by the ASIO licensing terms.)

I don't think I'd be comfortable removing that extra text from the license file unless a lawyer reassures me that this would be OK.

Well, maybe you can adopt multilicenses files like Zrythm did: https://github.com/zrythm/zrythm/tree/master/LICENSES

Anyway I've manually set "Other" for it on our page: https://github.com/forart/HyMPS/blob/main/A_Tools.md#asio-

Thanks anyway.
