Project is missing license information #23

Open sanitas2 opened 10 years ago

It would be nice to know what are rules concerning reusing or contributing to the project.

dotevo commented 10 years ago

What do you mean? link to this website http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright ?

sanitas2 commented 10 years ago

By project I meant "osm24" not OpenStreetMap. The fact that the code is available on github does not mean too much. Can I reuse parts of it in my project? Can I deploy it on my own? Usually answer to such questions gives chosen license. Here you can find list of licenses used for open source project: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses

I thought you're talking about OpenStreetMap. The project is an open license. I didn't have time to choose. Maybe AGPL will be the best :-) If you want to fork project then it is not a problem. But it will be nice if you add link to osm24.eu If you want contribute it will be also nice, it is a lot of work here.

AGPL looks good, i support it :) Also AGPL means that link to this repository should be added to the About screen)

To me it looks like GPLv2 license is already selected. Looking at the https://github.com/dotevo/osm24/blob/master/js/own_bootstrap.js file it says:

Author: Adam Jordanek (dotevo) License: GPLv2

Doesn't it mean that the whole code is GPLv2?

dotevo commented 10 years ago

No it is old. It will be AGPL but I have to check libs license. If anyone wants to do it I'll be happy :-)

szymond commented 10 years ago

I am not sure if announcing that the licensing information is "old" makes it legal to switch to something else. But I am not an expert...

dotevo commented 10 years ago

For owners it is not a problem to change license

nicolashohm commented 9 years ago

+1 for adding a license. Personally, I prefer the MIT license

nicolashohm commented 9 years ago

close?

sanitas2 commented 9 years ago

Some source files still contain information about GPLv2. So I wouldn't consider this issue fixed.
