this package is missing a license specification. please chose one and get approval from every other author that contributed to this software.

penguineer commented 5 years ago

@christf Can you please specify the new target license and note which contributors have not agreed yet?

penguineer commented 5 years ago

We assume the following license for all files lacking a specific annotation: https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause

christf commented 5 years ago

Some of the files explicitly were marked as 2 clause bsd license By Nils. Since he did not reply to my query we can only assume that the whole project was meant to be released under this license. For me this license is fine.

@t-8ch @oszilloskop @ctr49 @matwei do you agree with this?

penguineer commented 5 years ago

@T-X @mweinelt @rotanid Do you agree?

t-8ch commented 5 years ago

@christf Anything accepted by OSI or Debian is fine with me.

rotanid commented 5 years ago

i'm not a contributor to this code so my vote doesn't matter.

For me this license is fine too.

I agree for my part of the contribution, but I'm not sure if it's safe to assume that the license used in 2 files can be applied for other contributions.

We could argue as follows: 1) The original author has created this project in an open-source environment. 2) Some of the files contain a specific license, while the rest of the files do not contain any license notice at all.

This we can assume that the author had the intention for this project to be open source under the 2-clause BSD license.

Any license is fine for my contributions. Consider it public domain or whatever makes most sense for this project to be useful for as many people as possible.

oszilloskop commented 5 years ago

Any license is fine for my little documentation contribution.

penguineer commented 5 years ago

Based on this discussion I will go with the 2-clause BSD license and consider this issue closed.
