Add license info [was: Add alternatives] #22

Closed pickfire closed 8 years ago

There is an alternative hosts blocking software which is written in python, well documentated README.md and only changes /etc/hosts. It uses the KISS principle which you can just python updateHostsFile.py to use it. I hope you can add it to the README.md. I also hope that you can add a license to hostsblock (I recommend wftpl.

Thank you for the information. In my own capacity as a AUR packager of this script, I have stated this to be under the GPL, so I'll carry that over to this.

pickfire commented 9 years ago

I think that it should be better to show LICENSE or COPYING that it is GPL. And what about putting the alternative in README.md?

pickfire commented 8 years ago

I have tried the other hosts blocking method, works nice. I don't have much knowledge about what this project is doing, I hope that it can be simpler.

Want me to help maintaining it?

gaenserich commented 8 years ago

That would be immensely helpful. I don't really have the time to actively maintain it any more.

@gaenserich Thanks a lot.

Sadi58 commented 8 years ago

@gaenserich Thank you for your trust although I have more ideas than skills to contribute ; -)

pickfire commented 8 years ago

@Sadi58 I have both idea and skills (haven't sharpened yet), but I don't have a lot of time.
