Proposed Solution

Select one from FLOSS licenses:

Personally, I'd prefer Apache License Version 2.0

@lesommer do you have any thoughts about which licenses we should attach to nemo-simsar? Is there any demand by the EC you might be aware of? I do remember that the question of license appeared during the application phase and we stated that we would deploy the software under some public license but we did not refer to a specific license, didn't we?

mscheinert commented 3 years ago

@lmicallef , did you use any third-party software (e.g. snippets) other than the imported modules?

git (BSD-3)
svn.local (GPL 2.0; see #23)
jinja2 (BSD-3)
pycurl (LGPL/MIT; but it not really used: #22)
wget (Public Domain)
netCDF4 (personal license; kind of MIT+ISC)

Other modules are part of the python standard library:

os (PSF)
re (PSF)
subprocess (PSF)
pathlib (PSF)
textwrap (PSF)
glob (PSF)
configparser (PSF)

I'm not sure about the consequences of the GPL-2 license the svn package is distributed under... The package nxpy-svn (Boost Software License 1.0), a wrapper for the local svn client, could provide a work-around.

@mscheinert I used third party snippets from https://gist.github.com/m0neysha/219bad4b02d2008e0154 to create the markdown table.
