What licence is the plugin published under?

Also, are there any plans to make the source available?

Hello GregDThomas,

There is actually no any licence. The software is provided "as is" without any express or implied warranty of any kind. In no event shall the author be liable for any damages, claim or other liability. Use it at your own risk as you want. The software shall be used to good.
There is a plan to open the source code in the future, but not now. If you have any question don't hesitate to ask here.

Thanks for the update; is there anything we can do to help get the source released?

Would this mean we could fork the project and provide a download for users that would be a more recognized URL?

ie-web-notifications commented 8 years ago

Yes, it will be possible to fork the project and actually I would like others to contribute, there is a lot of space for it.

Could you please explain what you understand under a more recognized URL?

So right now, if I wanted someone to download the plugin, I would have to direct them to your site. Which to a customer, looks completely foreign and suspicious. I would like to host that plugin on my site (a more recognized url from the customers perspective). I would give complete credit to you for your work, I just want to host the code myself.

I have also updated the account name (renamed from ukot to ie-web-notifications) and got rid of path /ie_web_notifications. Meanwhile old URLs (1, 2) with ukot are not dead, they simply redirect to https://ie-web-notifications.github.io/. Could you please let me know if there is something else I can do to improve the trustworthiness of the welcome page?
