License? #26

Closed docunext closed 12 years ago

docunext commented 12 years ago

Hello,

I'm interested in using balder, but I'm concerned about the license. I read that it was GPLv3, but then I just noticed the README says "Free for personal use. Contact me for commercial use."

Which one is it?

Albert

Ah, at the end of the README I notice that you again state its GPLv3, but commercial licenses are also available. Please confirm for clarity.

Sorry about the confusion. I was confused about what to do myself when I first open sourced the project as it originally was done for a client. So I had hopes of licensing it to others who wanted to use it commercially. I am considering now to replace the license with a MIT license. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this.

What are you planning to use Balder for?

docunext commented 12 years ago

Sure, that makes sense. Dual-licensing is fairly commonplace and I have nothing against it, though I make it a practice to confirm licensing before copying or using code.

I am thinking about adding a projects section to a site I run dedicated to cars: http://www.neocarz.com/

where people can upload pictures of cars they are working on. I used to be really into working on cars before I got into computers. :-)

Balder is now using the MIT License. https://github.com/espen/balder/commit/8038841af62a9224dea763cbfd0cb4d76991d139
