License and group ID for v1.0.0 #110

Closed vlovgr closed 4 years ago

vlovgr commented 4 years ago

Should we change the legal entity for the license for v1.0.0?
If so, to what legal entity are we changing?
If so, what should the new group ID be?

vlovgr commented 4 years ago

I basically see two options here:

keep using com.ovoenergy and OVO Energy Limited as legal entity,
change to com.github.fd4s and Viktor Lövgren (me) as legal entity.

I don't feel strongly about either option. Best would be if we had a separate limited company, but that's not really an option at this point. @bplommer @msinton do either of you have any opinions here (you two are the only ones beside me with code contributions)?

@fd4s/maintainers have decided on a mixed approach for v1.0.0:

change group ID to com.github.fd4s,
keep OVO Energy Limited as legal entity.

I'll make the arrangements to change the group ID.
