Your BSD license is not compatible with GPL and cant be used in WordPress #35

Closed danyj closed 5 years ago

danyj commented 5 years ago

I wanted to use your script in a WordPress theme and because of the BSD license this is not possible. There are few BSD licensees that are compatible with GPL but it has to be specified. Right now your license is global and says only BSD so it falls under OriginalBSD.

Here is what your license is currently referring to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#OriginalBSD

Any way you can change this to GPL compatible license so that we can use it in WordPress?

If you could change this to New BSD License or FreeBSD License License or any of the compatible ones here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses http://prntscr.com/mz2dr4

we could use the script

Here is more in detail explanation of GNU + BSD https://www.gnu.org/licenses/bsd.en.html and it would be great if you could comply.
