License Confusion? #26

Closed AnthonyVO closed 4 years ago

AnthonyVO commented 5 years ago

The saml.cs file appears to have a MIT license at the top which I greatly prefer.

But the License file in the project is Apache License Version 2.0, January 2004

Just checking which it actually is.

Thanks.

Hi!

Same here! I've been using the library for a while now and in the source code it says MIT license. But the newly added file says Apache, and I was just put in charge of finding all of the licenses of all of the components we're using.

Thanks

Sorry about the confusion. The license is Apache b/c it is as permissive as MIT, but also protects you from patent trolls - therefore more "big" companies are willing to use Apache than MIT. I'll update the sources.
