did I miss where the license for this library is specified?

jdarling commented 11 years ago

Eh.. Looks like I never uploaded one. I'm pretty bad about that.

I am torn between BSD and Eclipse licensing. Have to do some reading on both, I'm also open to suggestions.

I am not familiar with Eclipse. I tend to prefer MIT which is about the same as BSD

jdarling commented 11 years ago

The only difference in BSD and MIT (from what I can tell) is attribution. In this case I want to keep that in place for my resume :). That and (hopefully) there are other MongoMQ adapters that will be getting released soon (C# and Java). So I want to make sure they all line up under the same license for each author.

I'll get together a BSD license and attach it to the project proper in the next few days. Until then, this thread should suffice as proof that the project will be licensed as BSD w/attribution.

I'll be pushing an update to MongoMQ shortly. In the end I decided to just license MongoMQ under MIT as most of my existing projects are already under MIT license. This is less restrictive than BSD under the attribution clause. So should make everyone happy.

Updated to 0.3.6 with MIT license.
