License? #24

Closed ericthewizard closed 8 months ago

ericthewizard commented 8 months ago

I'm thinking of using the JavaScript implementation in our new gif_walk tool at SPDF, but noticed there isn't a license yet (or one that I could find). Can we add a license (preferably something FOSS)?

jbfaden commented 8 months ago

I would just assume use GPL3, or do you have any other preference?

candeynasa commented 8 months ago

Use the Apache 2 license. Thanx

I've added a license file to the root, which applies to all three implementations.

jbfaden commented 8 months ago

Close this ticket if that will work fine for you.

ericthewizard commented 8 months ago

Thanks - works for me!

ericthewizard commented 8 months ago

Oh wait - this might be a problem:

The GNU GPL is the most widely used free software license and has a strong copyleft requirement. When distributing derived works, the source code of the work must be made available under the same license.

I'm not sure what NASA would say about this. @candeynasa is GPL2 okay?

candeynasa commented 8 months ago

Please use the Apache 2 license for government work. GPL is not suitable for open science software and incompatible with mixing with other packages.

jbfaden commented 8 months ago

I could dual-license it, but I don't know if that can be done easily using GitHub. I'll just make it Apache 2.

jbfaden commented 8 months ago

It's now Apache 2.
