Switch license to GPLv3 #36

Closed jerrellmardis closed 10 years ago

jerrellmardis commented 10 years ago

To keep things open, I plan to switch the license from Apache v2 to GPLv3. Any concerns by anyone?

It would make me hesitant to try new things when working on the app because I might want to use them elsewhere. Similarly it makes all the code off-limits as example code for use in other projects. Is this just to prevent someone from selling a derivative?

Ah ok. Yea that's a concern but I would much rather have the project thrive under a more open license than restrict it. Given that this would be off-putting to contributors is a much bigger concern. Another person mentioned the same thing to me as well so I'll stick with Apache v2.
