SC-HOA isn't licensed

[patrickdupuis]

SC-HOA isn't licensed and it needs to be. The ambitools project that it is based on is GPLv2 only (as opposed to GPLv2 or later), and the IEM resources that it includes are GPLv3. There's a problem with these two licenses.

In order to add a license to this repo, the above needs to be sorted out, and all contributors to SC-HOA must agree on the license.

Actually, it's really unclear what the ambitools license is. The FAUST generated C++ files in the SuperCollider folder confusingly say GPLv2 or later and GPLv3 or later. The audio files in the FIR folder are probably licensed like the repo (GPLv2 only?).

What parts of ambitools does SC-HOA use exactly?

I just asked Pierre Lecomte, the author of ambitools and will get back to you as soon as I know more.

Hi @florian-grond any update on this ?

[florian-grond]

I have contacted Piere Lecomte, but unfortunately, he has not responded yet.

@florian-grond if you set your repo as GPLv3 or later, then it will fit with IEM resources and probably also with ambotools since GPL2 seems to be compatible with later version (?).

If you agree with this, you only need to add this file to the root of your repo: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.md

but the file should be called LICENSE.md.

if you name the file LICENSE.md github will see it better. You should also make a new release tag 1.4.0.
