Relicense

[donovanglover]

Hello,

Can markdown-editor be licensed under a different license? (Technically you'd also need approval from everyone that made a non-trivial contribution since they retain the copyright to their original work).

See: https://opensource.google.com/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#wtfpl-not-allowed

Thanks

In case it helps, if the WTFPL-style public domain-like dedication is to be preserved, choosealicense.com recommends the Unlicense for this effect.

Happy to let @aero31aero make the call on this as the project's current maintainer, but as the original author I'm happy for this to be licensed in whatever way makes the most sense, ideally as open as possible (in retrospect it was remiss of me not to put a proper license in from the get-go)

Thanks for raising this @GloverDonovan! I'm thinking of the MIT License. It is similar to WTFPL style for the usage(permissive), but preserves the original copyright. That restriction ideally prevents someone from copying and relicensing a public domain work as theirs. Thoughts?

[waldyrious]

MIT is fine, although I'm personally partial to the equivalent (but even simpler) ISC license :)

[donovanglover]

Sounds good to me. Let's make this happen!

Since its functionally equivalent, I'll go with ISC here then.
