Hey @gabrielgrant,

Nice project! What's the license?

I was wanting to incorporate some aspects of the code into https://github.com/brobles82/ember-meteor. I think that ember-meteor will probably be MIT to make it compatible with Ember and Meteor. I just wanted to make sure that node-ember-precompile was compatible.

Thank you,

Kyle

Right now I have it licensed as LGPL meaning it's fine to use as a library anywhere (fully proprietary code included). Does that work for you?

kylefinley commented 11 years ago

Ah, Sorry, I missed that.

Does that work for you?

I think so, but would the output files be considered a derived work, since they were generated by LGPL code? I don't mind LGPL or GPL, but the goal is to make ember-meteor widely accessible, and some folks might prefer to use incompatible licenses.

Thanks for the quick response.

No problem, the license info is admittedly a bit buried.

I definitely have no intention of imposing any restrictions on the output from ember-precompiler -- my understanding is that, in general, a tool's output actually can't be covered by that tool's license (see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLOutput ), so I'm pretty sure you should be in the clear.

I just had a look at ember-meteor and it seems pretty neat. I'm excited to see how it comes together!

Let me know if you have any other questions

That's what I need to know.

Thanks @gabrielgrant, Your project has saved me a lot of time.
