AGPL on data files #1

Open udif opened 2 years ago

udif commented 2 years ago

What are the implications of licensing the data files under AGPL?

If I bundle one of the dictionary data files in a different project, where it is not compiled into the project executables or transformed into binary, but instead it is merely bundled as-is (you can say it stays "in source code form"), as part of that project's distribution, does it have any effect on the license of the code files in that project?

@eyaler What's the status here? Can I use it as I see fit? I want to create a DB, which will be accessible to all and you dictionary looks like a good start

Hi. the current license as appearing in the LICENSE file, is just the one copied from HSpell. You are more than welcome to submit a PR for a permissive license that answers your concerns and is compatible with the former. thanks!

@udif Does MIT matches what you need?
