Update license to GPL #10

Closed tnorthcutt closed 7 years ago

@tnorthcutt Can you add a description to the Pull Request, adding information on why this license, how it’s being applied and who has decided to use GPL? Thank you very much. :)

But “next-generation” isn’t entirely accurate because Planet 4 has a lineage and that lineage is Wordpress. In essence, Planet 4 will be a customized version of the most widely used CMS on the planet with the intent on saving the planet.

From the text of the GPL license, emphasis mine:

  1. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

I would imaging that the code would be kept in a different repo looking at the description of this one.
