Licensing

[infogulch]

Hi! Nice set of sample charts, I especially appreciated the stacked area example. I was hoping to make a simple adaptation and re-publish some of the code for the stacked area example in a github template repo that I expect may be forked a lot. But seeing as this code does not have any published license, this may be a bad idea.

Do you intend to apply a general open-source license to this repo and the example code in particular? (If you do and are unsure what license is appropriate, perhaps https://choosealicense.com can help. If not that's fine too.)

30 is related but the author closed it before any discussion occurred.

Hi Joe, Thanks for your message.

I have absolutely 0 knowledge on licensing and that's something I should be more interested in.

But for now I have absolutely 0 bandwidth for that :(. So please use the code how you want, but just cite the URL of the gallery 🙏

If you have any suggestion about how I should license appropriately, I'm interested.

I recommend the MIT license. It's permissive and provides protection for your work. For a deeper dive or to compare licenses:

• Check out TLDR Legal
• Follow the guide at Choose a License

If you're on board with the MIT License, feel free to merge #98 👍

Edit: I see that's also the option you picked for https://github.com/holtzy/data_to_viz
