Change license in accordance with SDL 2 library? #66

Closed Free-Pascal-meets-SDL-Website closed 6 years ago

Free-Pascal-meets-SDL-Website commented 6 years ago

The SDL2 lib. has adopted the zlib license. For best compatibility and wider spread usage of the units it may make sense to adopt this license for the SDL 2 units, too.

What do you think?

ev1313 commented 6 years ago

They don't differ much, but I guess I could also allow licensing the headers under the zlib license.

This is a good idea, since I think it would make them even more attractive. Both licenses complement each other in kind of a way (https://choosealicense.com/appendix/#trademark-use):

Differences only:

Permissions:

MPL: This license provides an express grant of patent rights from contributors.

zLib: This license explicitly states that it does NOT grant any rights in the patents of contributors.

Conditions:

MPL: Source code must be made available when the software is distributed.

Limitations:

MPL: This license explicitly states that it does NOT grant trademark rights, even though licenses without such a statement probably do not grant any implicit trademark rights.

(got information and statements from source link above)

Done.
