License? #2

Open SilentChris opened 11 years ago

I came here after seeing a reference to the NSString Geometrics category on StackOverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5518147/accurately-calculating-text-height-in-cocoa-for-mac-not-ios).

It seems like it could be helpful in doing some dynamic resizing after displaying messages. However, I don't see a license file anywhere in the project. Would it be possible to add one? (Preferably one that allows commercial/non-OSS use - like Apache/BSD/MIT? :)

Hello Chris,

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier today. I get confused by all of the different licenses. Just send me the text or file of a license that you like and I'll stick it in there and commit.

Haha - not a problem - I don't really totally understand the little differences between all the licenses, I just know which licenses are "good" (Apache/MIT/BSD) and which are "not good" (GPL/LGPL) when making commercial software.

The Apache license seems pretty simple and permissive if you're looking for people to be able to use/modify/improve your code freely (replacing the brackets with your info):

Thank you for the license text, Chris.

I added a License.txt to the repo…
