Add LICENSE to the code #102

Closed daknob closed 3 years ago

Dear all, this is an attempt to license the code of the project. I am proposing this license, as a good option that is liberal and allows sharing without any limitations.

For this to happen, we need the okay from every contributor, otherwise we cannot do this, and may have to replace their contributions.

All contributors of code or documents have been added to the list, ordered by the number of commits, descending, and with the copyright starting from the first year of their contribution. Please make sure the names are okay.

Please, all, comment here, and approve this PR.

Thanks!

This is the ISC license if I am not mistaken.

I am OK with the license but I think that most people are more familiar with the MIT license, which is effectively the same, so why not use the latter?

This is indeed the ISC, or BSD 2-Clause License.

I think it just lacks some unnecessary wording, so it’s more simple.

Feel free to replace it with the MIT one if you think it’s better, I didn’t think of that to be honest.

I know that some projects prefer this to the MIT one though for inclusion to their repos.

I personally approve this PR.

@DaKnOb @mzampetakis @sonaht @kabitakis @kouts @gsaslis @padeler @gvre @fadamakis please post a similar comment if you also approve the PR so that we can proceed and have the approvals on record.

The change has been made, now there's a generic "DevStaff Community"

Funny that ISC itself moved away from the ISC license...

It looks like they are now using Mozilla Public License 2.0 instead
